Gst for export-only income (from services) exceeding 20 lakhs

Import / Export 245 views 1 replies

Hi, 

I am a software freelancer working exclusively with foreign clients (aka, export of services). In FY18-19, I had income exceeding Rs. 20 lakhs. As mentioned, the income is solely from export of services.

1) Am I liable to register for GST?
2) Do I need to make regular filings?
3) Is all my income (export of services) zero-rated?

Thank for taking the time to answer my queries.

1)  Registration is compulsory  under GST  because  export  is  treated  as interstate supply and as per  section 24(1) of the CGST act 2017  registration is compulsory  for inter-state supply  if  turnover  exceeds  20 lac. 

2) You have file returns  regularly 

3)  Export of service is ZERO  rated  under  GST as per section 16(1) (a)  of the IGST act 2017  ,however you have to pay  IGST  and then  claim for refund  or you can submit  LUT / BOND subject  to conditions 

please confirm with others also.
