This is an academic question on Input Tax Credit/

[Amit2]

This is an academic question for my understanding. 

If I have claimed Input Tax Credits in 1st year and got a refund for it the next year, do I need to exclude the tax credit while filing taxes or do I leave it like this and claim it as income the next year or do I have to do both.

Input tax credits are not income.  It is a rebate of your own money, which you had already paid out.

Thanks for the clarification. So, do we deduct the ITC from the expenses while filing for T2 or do we deduct it ?

[Delphision]

If you are claiming your ITC's on your GST/HST remittance reports, leave the GST off the revenue and expenses.
