What should be the treatment of GST on free samples sent outside India ? Are they taxable or exempt as they are export?
Free samples given in India are not treated as supply for the purpose of GST.
Secondly, if we pay GST, then can we claim refund ?

If GST is not applicable on certain goods in India , it will never be applicable on the same good when exported .
