    72. We are manufacturer of chemicals. We have constructed new rooms where we unload semi finished chemical for natural crystallization of our chemical and chemical change its state from liquid to solid when it is kept in such rooms. So can it be treated as plant and machinary and can ITC be claimed on construction bills of such rooms built in factory premises.

      Secondly, we have bought car before gst law was implemented for our marketing person to meet our business clients and suppliers, So can ITC be availed on this car repair bill, and new tyre bill. Can it be consider as furtherance of business as the marketing person is using it for business travel

      Thanks

      1. No, Land and Building cannot be treated as plant and machinery. “Plant and machinery” means apparatus, equipment and machinery fixed to earth by foundation or structural support that are used for making outward supply of goods or services or both and includes such foundation and structural supports but excludes –

        1. Land, building or any other civil structures
        2. Telecommunication towers and
        3. Pipelines laid outside the factory premises.

        Since definition specifically excludes land and building, therefore it cannot be considered as plant and machinery.

        ITC on car repairs and new tyres can be claimed since these are not covered under exclusions provided by the law.

    73. We are a manufacturer of chemicals. We have constructed new rooms where we unload semi-finished chemical for natural crystallization of our chemical and chemical change its state from liquid to solid when it is kept in such rooms. So can it be treated as plant and machinery and can ITC be claimed on construction bills of such rooms built in factory premises?

      Secondly, we have bought a car before GST law was implemented for our marketing person to meet our business clients and suppliers, So can ITC be availed on this car repair bill, and new tyre bill.
