Refund of GST, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[BINDLASDUPLUX LIMITED]

Dear Sir(s)

A Trading company say Mr. X (deals in paper, paper machines etc.) purchased Kraft Paper (IGST @12%) from paper manufacturing company in India.

Thereafter Mr. X sold the goods to Mr. Y (merchant exporter) under not. no. 41/2017 Integrated Tax (Rate) Dt. 23.10.2017 charging 0.10 % IGST. Now the merchant exporter Mr. Y export the goods out of India.

My question here is that how Mr. X can claim the IGST which is unutilized.

thanks

Whether the company is paying any other integrated tax?

Yes sir

Mr. X is dealing in taxable goods already n paying GST @ various rates on different products. this is the first opportunity to Mr. X to sell the goods to merchant exporter. Basically Mr. X pruchased the Kraft Paper by paying GST @ 12%.

Mr. X is trading firm and dealing in waste paper, finish paper, paper machine items etc.

thanks in advance.

Dear Sir,

Yes, Mr.X can very well claim IGST Being paid on account of Export of Goods by Mr.Y (Merchant Trader - Procured Goods from Mr.X).

Mr.X can claim the Refund under Inverted Duty Structure Scheme (Were Goods being sold are charged at less tax rate in comparison to Input tax being availed for manufacturing/Purchase of Goods).

However he will be eligible for ITC only for (12%-.10% = 11.90%) under refund mechanism.

The calculation for Inverted duty structure in system enabled in GST Portal.

Sir,

But do ensure that you fulfill all the conditions as being laid for supply to merchant exporter.

Refer the notification for merchandise trade. There are some of the following conditions

1. Ensure that goods are exported in 90 days

2. Shipping bill should mention ur name.

3. You not being manufacturer will not get incentive/drawback

4. Your AO should be give PO by merchant exporter.

Many more conditions. Instead charge gst full @12%, and let merchant exporter take refund.
