GST Input Tax Credit Calculator

Net GST payable after offsetting input credit against output liability — the cash you actually deposit.

$—
Net GST payable (cash)
$—
Eligible ITC claimed
$—
Blocked credit (a cost)

Formula

net payable = output GST − eligible input tax credit

ITC is GST's core mechanism — you pay tax only on your value-add, offsetting the GST already paid on inputs. But §17(5) blocks credit on cars, club memberships, personal-use items and more, turning that GST into a real cost. ITC also requires the supplier to have actually filed (GSTR-2B matching) — a chronic working-capital headache.

References: CGST Act §16-17 — input tax credit
