SUPPLY TO SEZ WITHOUT PAYMENT OF TAX

Hello Seniors,
Need your guidance 

Do we need to ask for any certificate from a Client situated in SEZ before supplying him as "SEZ without payment of tax"

We already have LUT

My main concern is whether GST officer can argue that u have not obtained any Certificate from your SEZ client because you are supplying to them without payment of tax?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the requirements for supplying goods or services to Special Economic Zones (SEZs) without upfront tax payment, particularly when using an LUT (Letter of Undertaking). A key concern raised is whether a certificate from the SEZ client is necessary to avoid potential disputes with GST officers. The conversation also touches upon the importance of ensuring supplies are for authorised operations within the SEZ, especially for services like SaaS, and the challenges in proving this.

Yes you can only supply without tax to sez for authorised operations
Sir, how can I know the list of authorized operations

What is the nature of supply that you are making to the SEZ?

Sir we are in the business of providing SAAS services to our clients by charging them monthly fees for it. We provide HRMS services to our clients.

In that case, how do you ensure that the cost incurred is only for the SEZ unit and not the DTA unit.

Very difficult to prove SaaS services to be used for authorised operations.

Pay taxes on your supplies to be on the safe side
