SEZ units furnishing LUT are not required to pay GST on RCM for services availed from DTA supplier

Last updated: 04 May 2024
Quick Summary
The Gujarat Advance Ruling Authority has ruled that Special Economic Zone (SEZ) units do not need to pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) for services received from Domestic Traffic Area (DTA) suppliers. This exemption applies if the SEZ unit has furnished a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) or bond, treating themselves as a deemed supplier. This decision aligns with previous rulings and clarifies that SEZ units can procure services for their authorised operations without paying IGST, provided they meet the LUT/bond requirements.
