04 January 2026 Hiring a tipper for use in Bhutan qualifies as export of services under GST, since the place of supply is outside India. Hence, the service is zero-rated and not taxable in India. Further, ITC on purchase of the tipper is fully eligible, as it is a goods carriage used for business/export purposes, even though the vehicle is temporarily sent outside India and later returned.
