The CBIC has issued a clarification regarding the entitlement of input tax credit (ITC) for services where the place of supply is determined by the proviso to Section 12(8) of the IGST Act. This applies to the transportation of goods, including via mail or courier, to a destination outside India, even if both the supplier and recipient are located in India. Such supplies are considered inter-state, attracting IGST. Crucially, recipients in India are eligible to claim ITC on this IGST, provided they meet other conditions under the CGST Act.

FAQ :
The CBIC has clarified that if goods are transported to a place outside India, even if the supplier and recipient are in India, the place of supply is the foreign destination. Recipients in India can claim ITC on the IGST charged for these services, subject to other GST conditions.
The proviso applies when the transportation of goods, including by mail or courier, is to a place outside India. In such cases, the place of supply is considered the destination of the goods.
It is considered an inter-state supply because the supplier is located in India and the place of supply is outside India. Integrated tax (IGST) is chargeable on such services.
Yes, the recipient of such transportation services is eligible to avail input tax credit for the IGST charged, provided they meet the conditions outlined in sections 16 and 17 of the CGST Act.
