Sir,

According to Section 18 (6) of CGST Act, 2017 "In case of supply of capital goods or plant and machinery, on which input tax credit has been taken, the registered person shall pay an amount equal to the input tax credit taken on the said capital goods or plant and machinery reduced by such percentage points as may be prescribed or the tax on the transaction value of such capital goods or plant and machinery determined under section 15, whichever is higher:

Provided that where refractory bricks, moulds and dies, jigs and fixtures are supplied as scrap, the taxable person may pay tax on the transaction value of such goods determined under section 15.

Please refer to rule 44 of CGST Rules, 2017 for method of working out the amount to be paid on removal of the sais goods.

As advised by Shri Rajagopalan,when the used machine is resold the credit availed for that machinery is to be reversed. The rate of GST may vary from machine to machine. Your advise of CA may be correct since he might have analyzed your plant and machineries.
