Accounting for Input Tax Credit Under GCC VAT

Related topics

You are eligible to get input credit for the tax you have paid on your inward supplies (purchases). In case your inward supplies are reverse-chargeable, you are liable to pay tax, but you can claim input credit. When the inward supplies are not used for generating taxable sales, input credit reversals are applicable. If your input credit is more than your tax liability, you can opt for refund or carry the credit forward to the next period. For all these adjustments, use journal vouchers.

Depending on the type of business transaction for which input credit is being adjusted various adjustment options have been provided in journal voucher. For example: In case of increasing input tax credit, you can use the adjustment options such as Capital Goods , Intra GCC Purchase , and so on depending on the transaction for which adjustment is required.
