- Do you have copies of FIRC for inward remittances? 

1. Understanding Your Business Model:

   • You're engaged in advertising products for ClickBank, which involves marketing products manufactured and sold in the USA to US residents. You earn commissions on these sales.
   • The payments for these commissions are received in your Indian bank account, converted from USD to INR. Importantly, you do not collect GST on these sales.

2. GST on Advertising Expenses:

   • You have been paying 18% GST on your advertising expenses through platforms like Google Ads and Facebook. This has been a significant cost, as you haven't been able to utilize the Input Tax Credit (ITC) accrued from these expenses.

3. Your GST Status and LUT:

   • Now that you have a GST number and considering you have a Letter of Undertaking (LUT), it appears your services might be classified as 'export of services', which are zero-rated under GST.

4. Claiming ITC Refund:

   • As your services likely qualify as zero-rated exports, you should be eligible to claim a refund of the ITC on your advertising expenses.
   • The process involves filing the relevant GST returns and applying for the ITC refund online. It's essential to maintain proper documentation, including copies of the Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate (FIRC), to substantiate the inward remittance of foreign currency.

We can assist you in this matter.  We can guide you through the process of claiming your ITC refund, ensuring proper compliance with GST norms, and liaising with service providers to prevent GST charges at source.

I believe that goods are sold in your name and hence the business is not of commission agent but of trader. Further, since it is a sale of goods online then no GST is applicable on same and it won't be considered as export under GST hence you cannot get the credit of same.

Most people who sell in USA use google or Facebook manager of USA and hence no GST is charged.

Hi

The advertising services would be export of services and since it is zero rated, the ITC on inputs would be lying unclaimed. To claim the same, refund application needs to be made for which appropriate invoice and documentation needs to be submitted. We have successfully obtained refund of many affiliate marketers and advertisers.
