• GST refund matter

Hi - I am a Service Exporter - Importer.   In July+August+September   I did not have LUT  ..So I paid IGST  on Export of Service.
Also for Import I paid  IGST in RCM for above 3 months  and claimed as ITC.
While paying tax for export for above three months I utilized ITC  and now  my Credit Balance = 0.

Now I will submit refund application  for "AMOUNT PAID  ON EXPORT OF SERVICE"  tomorrow. and will file separate application for  getting refund for  accumulated ITC  ( from October and ...) in next month.

For the first case  Officer asked me to submit INVOICE for Export +  FIRC only along with RFD 01A.

I want to know, since I utilized  INPUT CREDIT  ( from RCM tax paid )..
Do I  also  need to submit   Import Invoices received from foreign service provider ? ( or any  other documents to support my ITC  claim )

Please note : Tomorrow  I am only going  to submit refund application  for "IGST PAID on Export in absence of LUT ".

next month I will apply for accumulated ITC.
Also please note for July+August+September   my Credit ledger balance =0;   since I have utilized  it while making IGST on export.

Please help.

Thank you

Hi,

Yes, the officer may ask for import invoices and details of taxes paid under RCM. You should go along with these details.

Further, how will you apply for refund of ITC when you have already utilised the same.

Please feel free to call/revert in case you need more clarity.

Thanks and regards

You paid GST on export for the months july to Sept. through ITC and cash (if any). While claiming refund on export for the above period, you are indirectly claiming refund of ITC paid on imports for the above period as part of the liability was paid through ITC therefore officer needs Import invoices and FIRC for export to verify the authenticity of the transactions.

How can be there GSTR-2 for Importer and exporter as your suppliers are located outside India and are not falling under GST. If there would be GSTR-2 then officer himself didn't asked about the import invoices as it is available on the portal.

Hi

Although it's not a requirement to submit import service invoices along with refund form. But you should be prepared with these in case the officer asks for these.

Also, for reverse charge payments, you need to issue an invoice and a payment challan.
