1. I can indicate inr value sir. But how about inr value after deducting paypal transfer fees.  How can i include that in invoice ? I can only know the transfer fee after receipt of payment ,

2.  I will be filing LUT , and going for zero rated GST. So, should i include gst rate and gst amount on the invoice.

3. Should invoice include the terms " supply for export under LUT without payment of igst " ?

 

Thanks Alttamush sir  :)

1) Invoice on gross amount without paypal

2)If lut then no need to mention gst

3)Yes you will have to mention.

It is suggested that since you are starting a new business with export of services you engage a professional. You will need one.

1. So, i guess receipt should contain paypal transfer fees. And also the net, after that fees.

2. So , while computing gross profit, will paypal transfer fees will be considered expense ?

Thanks sir :)

Yes it will be an expense.

Thanks Altamush sir. You have helped me so much past few days.

Should i go for paypal or international bank wire ? Bank wire is cheap but not very safe. Paypal is large fees but 100 percent safe.

I will be receiving more than 50k usd per year.

Thanks sir :)
