Claiming the entire amount of ₹ 118 is ideal as ITC on damaged goods could be disallowed.

Sir,

In my view, as goods are damaged in transit, goods will be returned back. In books of account it will as returned (damage) goods. In this case, insurance can be claimed for value of goods only and not for GST, as GST is leviable on supply, here it cannot said that goods are supplied and also it is not received by the recipient. Moreover, in this case, we can say that transaction is not completed.

Thanks,

With regards

Insurance claim is allowed for goods only. ITC claimed should be reversed. When you account for the return in the books credit the tax component in the GST receivable account.

Goods were damaged before the completion of supply. So it can be said that goods were damaged at the hands of supplier.No right of claiming the element of GST from Insurance Company. Rightly advised by Sh.Alkesh Jani Ji and Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani Ji.

Thanks for sharing your views,

We are liable to reverse the ITC availed on damage or lost goods as per section 17(5)

In this case can we claim this ITC reverse amount from insurance company since this is loss to us.

In our view, yes, you can claim from insurance company the amount of ITC which was either reversed or not claimed by you in this transaction. However, you need to show them the relevant provision under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act to the Insurance company.

Now two issues are involved :

(a) GST paid on finished goods.

(b) GST paid on inputs contained in finished goods.

Yes, you can claim the amount of ITC contained in the finished (damaged) goods from Insurance Company inasmuch as there is no provision for remission of tax paid on finished (damaged) goods in GST Acts. You will have to intimate about the insurance claim (inclusive of GST paid on inputs) to your jurisdictional GST Range Officer.

In nutshell double benefit cannot be taken. That is for sure. I mean either input tax credit can be taken or insurance claim can be sought.
