9.36 Asset input tax allowable to claim after registration
From the GST Guideline,
" Input tax on any asset held on hand can be claimed on the book value within 6 years from the date of registration irrespective of when the asset is acquired."
For example,
GST registered manufacturing company purchased machinery valued at Rm5,000,000 in June 2016 and pays GST amounting to Rm300,000.
The company is registered in April 2020. At the time of registration, the book value of the machinery is Rm500,000. The manufacturing company
being a wholly taxable supplier is eligible to claim input tax on the remaining Rm500,000 (i.e.Rm500,000 x 6% = Rm30,000).
