Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applicable when a registered Indian company invoices Australian clients for software services. It confirms that such exports are considered 'zero-rated supplies' under the IGST Act, meaning no GST is charged. The options available are either paying IGST and claiming a refund, or submitting a Letter of Undertaking to export without upfront IGST payment.

The said services are "Zero rated supply" as per Section 16 of IGST Act. Refer the Sub-section (3) of the same for procedure.
