M/S. Daimler Financial Services vs. The State Of Karnataka
Held
The Court held that the claim of input tax credit is indefeasible and cannot be denied based on the machinery provisions or time limitations. The machinery provisions of filing returns cannot defeat substantive claims under Section 10(3) of the Act.
Facts
The petitioners challenged reassessment orders that denied them input tax credit (ITC) for tax periods under the Karnataka Value Added Tax (KVAT) Act, 2003. The denial was based on the timing of invoice raising and the period in which the ITC was claimed.
Key Issues
Whether input tax credit can be denied solely based on the timing of invoice raising or the tax period in which it is claimed, despite it being a substantive right.
