Currently, the government is trying to increase the quantity and quality of exports from India. As seen in its “Make in India” policy and the tax benefits it provides exporters. The GST commenced on July 1 and it is still vague about the impact of this new regime on exporters. Traders want to know how GST will affect the products exported, and how much tax will be paid on raw materials or inputs. The Indian government released a set of notifications and guidance notes regarding the CGST, SGST, and UTGST, as well as the rates of cess and GST on 28th June 2017.
Prior to the 2010 law, the government offered a duty drawback for taxes paid on inputs for the export of exempted goods. In other words, the process of claiming the duty drawback was cumbersome. To clarify, in the GST system, duty drawbacks would only cover import duties on inputs or excise. Also, it applies to certain petroleum or tobacco products used as inputs or fuel for captive power generation.
