I'm happy to help you with your question. However, I have to say that the answer is a bit complicated. Deemed exports under GST refer to specific transactions where goods supplied do not leave the country but are considered exports for tax benefits ¹. Software development services don't fall under the category of deemed exports because they don't involve the supply of goods ². However, if you are providing software development services to a client outside India, you may be eligible to pay 0% GST under the Export of Services ¹. To qualify as an export of services, the following conditions must be met ¹: - The recipient of the service must be located outside India. - The payment for the service must be received in convertible foreign exchange. - The service must be provided from India.
