• GST registration for service exporters

I'm a service exporter with 100% proceeds from exports and turnover more that 20 lac per annum. I'm not currently registered for service tax. With GST I see a couple of changes that impact my situation 1- it talks about 'aggregate revenue' instead of taxable revenue and 2- inter state IGST which seems to include exports. Do I need to register for GST? It's unnecessary compliance burden when exports are zero rated and I don't have to pay any GST.

Yes you have to take Registration under GST

In GST if we make even a single Ruppee Supply in interstate we have to get registered

You are right export are zero rated but for seamless flow of credit govt make these provisions

In this you have to options

Export without charging tax and can apply for input refund

Export with tax and got full refund of tax charged (coz input already adjusted with output tax liabilities)

Currently no practical policy or documentation prescribed in GST only law mentioned thus please wait for department notification for the same.

Hi,

Yes, you have to take GST registration.

Though export are zero rated but in order to claim credit of input tax paid by, you need to take registration.

Hello,

I assume your first query is solved and for your second query no official circular or rule has been released by the GST Council. So like you even we are not aware as to how will it be practically implemented.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.

Thanking You.
