Form GST ITC 04

Form GST ITC-04 is a declaration form that provides the details of inputs or capital goods dispatched to or received from a job worker.

ITC 04 consists of the details of inputs & capitals goods that are
– Dispatched to job workers.
– Received from job workers.
– Sent from one job worker to another.
– Supplied from the premises of job workers.

Form GST ITC-04 is to be furnished by registered manufacturers(Principals) who send goods for job work.

If goods sent on job work are not returned within the specified time then such goods will be considered as deemed supply on the date on which goods were sent for job work by the Principal. GST on the above transaction is to be paid.

Note: If the principal manufacturer wants to sell goods directly from the job worker’s place of business then the job worker’s place of business has to be shown as an additional place of business. (It is only possible if the job worker is not separately registered under the GST regime)

In the case of capital goods – within 3 years.
In the case of inputs – within 1 year.

Note: If goods are sent from the Principal’s place of business to the job worker’s place of business, then the date of sending the goods will be considered for the calculation of the period. If goods are sent by the Principal directly to the job worker’s place of business then the date of receiving the goods will be considered for calculation of the period.

Note: Specific exemption from the above time limits is available for items like molds, jigs, fixtures, and tools required for job work and are sent by the Principal to the job worker.
