Benefit of Exemption for Deemed Export, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Vinay Kunte]

It is given to understand the the Deemed Export are exempted Under IGST as per provisions of certain notifications issued in October 2017. Similarly, the IGST @0.1% or CGST/SGST or UTGST @0.05%, respectively, is to be paid by the supplier of Goods to other Registered person for Exports (Erstwhile Merchant Exporters).

My query is whether the ).1% IGST or 0.05% CGST is to be paid on goods supplied by a registered dealer under Deemed exports to other registered person or should be exempted in totality?

Please provide your valuable guidance.

Sir,

The tax rate of 0.05% in respect of CGST and SGST and 0.1% in respect of IGST is applicable only for export of goods. In respect of deemed export the supplier has to be pay the tax at normal rate and refund of such tax paid is to be claimed as provided under third proviso to rule 89 (1) of CGST Rules, 2017 which is as under: -

"Provided also that in respect of supplies regarded as deemed exports, the application may be filed by, -

(a) the recipient of deemed export supplies; or

(b) the supplier of deemed export supplies in cases where the recipient does not avail of input tax credit on such supplies and furnishes an undertaking to the effect that the supplier may claim the refund."
