Is import duty exempted under Advance Authorization scheme under GST?
This post explains about Advance Authorization scheme and you may add more information about import duty at the end of this article, if you wish.
Can an importer import goods or services under Advance authorization scheme without paying import duty? Does importer need to pay IGST on his imports?
According to GST Law, an importer under Advance authorization scheme needs not pay basic customs duty on imports. However, he is liable to pay IGST on imports under Advance Authorization scheme which can be availed back as ITC if eligible based on export fulfilment.
The imports under AA scheme can also avail Safeguard Duty, Transitional Product Specific Safeguard Duty, and Antidumping Duty against his import of goods.
According to guidelines issued by Director General of Foreign Trade, under GST regime, both the Advance Authorization and EPCG holders would continue toget the exemption from payment of the Basic Customs Duty, Safeguard Duty, Transitional Product Specific Safeguard Duty, and Antidumping Duty. And for items specified in Fourth Schedule to Central Excise Act 1944 (specified petroleum products, tobacco etc.) exemption from Additional C Duty leviable under Sections 3(1), 3(3) and 3(5) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 will also be available.
However, there is one major change. Now an Advance Authorisation holder will have to pay IGST at the time of imports. He can take input Tax Credit (ITC), and after export, claim refund of any unutilized input tax credit at the end of tax period.
