02 December 2024 Hi!
I wanted to know if LUT can be considered for a American client for whom we are providing service in Bangalore?

02 December 2024 To qualify as an export of service under GST, the following conditions must be met:

The supplier of the service must be located in India.
The recipient of the service must be located outside India.
The place of supply of the service must be outside India.
The payment for the service must be received in convertible foreign exchange or in Indian rupees wherever permitted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
If the service is provided to the American client physically in Bangalore, it would be subject to Indian GST since it takes place within India.
Service supplied to an American client in Bangalore by a dealer is not classified as export of service because the place of supply is within India (Bangalore), and it doesn’t meet the necessary conditions to be treated as an export. As such LUT cannot be considered.
