Please find the article ‘Analysis of Notification 41/2017 of Integrated Tax (Rate)‘ . The Readers shall be benefited by this article which contains complete analysis about supply of goods at reduced rate of tax to the exporter.
The rate of GST has been reduced on all supplies with effect from with effect from 23-10-2017 by virtue of Notification 41/2017 of Integrated Tax (Rate) on supply of taxable goods by a registered supplier to a registered recipient of export. The rate shall be charged on such supply at the rate of 0.1% of IGST and if intra state supply rate shall be 0.05% of CGST and SGST each subject to fulfillment of conditions stated in the Notification. Thus rate of tax in general may be 28%, 18%, 12% etc.. but on the said supply rate shall be charged 0.1% subject to fulfillment of the conditions.
This is welcome scheme for the Exporter because fund of the exporter shall not be blocked in account of tax. For example if the exporter shall have to make purchase of Rs.50 lakh and rate of tax on such purchase is 18%, the amount Rs.9 lakh shall be blocked in account of tax till it is refunded. According to the said notification the tax amount Rs.5000.00 in place of Rs.9 lakh shall be blocked.
But on the other side, the supplier is not so beneficial by this Notification because:-
1. Nine conditions are to be fulfilled to maintain the said supply as valid supply.
2. If it has been established that the said supply was not done according to terms and conditions of Notification 41/2017, the liability to pay additional tax, interest and penalty on account of such invalid supply shall be assessed against the supplier.
3. The supplier’s input tax credit shall be blocked till it is refunded.
