Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether SEZ units located in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, can claim input tax credit (ITC) on hotel stays within the same state, particularly when the hotel bill shows IGST. While supplies to SEZs are zero-rated, allowing hotels to claim refunds, the eligibility for SEZ units to claim ITC on these services remains a debated topic. The consensus suggests it's unlikely, even if the hotel doesn't claim a refund, as SEZ exports are typically GST-exempt.

14 January 2021 Supplies to SEZ are zero rated. So hotel can claim refund of IGST paid.

14 January 2021 My question is hotel stay inter state is ineligible for input credit and same state is eligible for input credit. Assuming hotel does not claim refund of IGST paid can we claim if hotel stay is in same state in case of SEZ companies ?

14 January 2021 Since most hotels will not agree for claiming of IGST we can pay IGST and then use this input IGST against exports on payment of IGST and then get refund from the government of IGST paid for exports.

14 January 2021 SEZ can not export with payment of GST.SEZ itself is custom warehouse so export from custom warehouse are not chargeable to GST.
