A client received a payment in USD from Facebook Ireland, raising questions about whether it constitutes an export of services. The discussion clarifies that if the transaction qualifies as an export of services, an LUT (Letter of Undertaking) is indeed required for supplies without IGST. Furthermore, it's confirmed that a refund application can be filed for unutilised input service credits related to such export transactions.

A particular transaction is decided as an export of services based on a few rules, unless we have the complete details of the transaction like what, how it happened. It is difficult to determine the same. LUT is required for the supply of services or goods without payment of IGST.
