Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how exporters should account for GST refunds. The consensus is that a GST refund, resulting from GST paid on exports, should not be treated as indirect income. Instead, it is considered a current asset on the balance sheet and not part of the company's revenue.

GST Paid is treated as Liability and thereafter is refund than it is not consider as income. 

Thank you
It's not revenue in nature, it's should have been shown as Current Assets in your Balance sheet, Hence not part of Income. Thanking you
