Is there any GST to be paid by exporters? What would be the rate of GST to Exporters?

How to get refund of input tax paid by exporters? How to claim GST paid by exporters? How to get refund of GST paid to exporters? What are the documents required to be sumitted for claim of GST refund?

There is no GST involved for exporters. In other words, there is zero rate of duty to exporters of goods or services. The GST paid for any movement of goods for the purpose of exports can be reimbursed.

As per empowered committee of state finance ministers constituted by Government of India, the impact and benefits of GST to exporters quoted below:

“The subsuming of major Central and State taxes in GST, complete and comprehensive setoff of input goods and services and phasing out of Central Sales Tax (CST) would reduce the cost of locally manufactured goods and services. This will increase the competitiveness of Indian goods and services in the international market and give boost to Indian exports. The uniformity in tax rates and procedures across the country will also go a long way in reducing the compliance cost.”

raja: On 02 July 2022 Is Corona Virus is threat or opportunity In the field of International Trade India’s approach is not aggressive Around 80 years back a USA footwear co has sent two representatives to find out Status of footwear market in Africa The first representative told no body wears even slipper you cannot sell even single pair Second representative informed they are not aware of footwear hence if we mkt positively we have full of Africa population as untapped market As per IMF latest bulletin for 2020-21 China India Indonesia will record 2.5% GDP Rest will have negative growth Can we have treat corona as opportunity 1) With available corona funds from different sources from India as well as international community International standard express high way road/ rail / hyper -loop to be constructed connecting major economic centers of Gulf and South Asia and South east Asia then our GDP will increase by around 3 or 4% and rest of Asia will become self-sufficient. A feasibility study to be prepared so all the countries can trade freely later GST Indirect Tax System to be overhauled GST started with returns under GSTR1 (Outward Sales) GSTR2 (Accepted Inward Purchases) and GSTR3 (Tax summary and payment) whereas ended up into GSTR1 (Outward Sales) and GSTR3B (Tax summary and payment) and due to which assesse started getting notice for mismatch where as annual return filing and audit for GST2017-18 is extended till now i.e. more than three years. Our GST Tariff is five plus two instead of one or two tariff as per other nations and GST rules are amended and notifications issued frequently to make things worst where as assesse is forced to file return in time if not late fee and e way bill blockage issues is raised. In addition GST Server was not functioning to the level required. Hence immediately GST Tariff to be brought into two tariffs only in line a High rate 16% for manufacturing items and end consumer general rate of 5% and each assesse is given option to file outward sales product name with HSN No applicable Tariff for approval. GST returns GSTR1, GSTR2 and GSTR3 to be activated immediately. LUT under EOU Export zone and Special economic zone to be abolished by given required export incentive. In case of credit accumulation due to inverted duty structure (ex purchases at higher rate 18% and sales @ 5%) accumulated credit will be refunded after elaborate process. In such a case each assesse can accept only 5% credit and balance to be credited to supplier. Professional tax to be paid to state government through GST portal as each state has their own tariff structure. Income Tax In case of Income tax there should be net based audit all the bank transaction based on pan number a TDS amount to be debited 1 or 2% to IT account like in US and China where all payments are through mobile and facial recognitions. Exemptions to be limited. Other amendment for digital transactions to be made as per developed countries. Even then there will be problem from pressure group.
