    With regards to rule 42 of apportionment of ITC, if we are exporting goods which are already exempt, whether it is considered as exempt supply or taxable supply (because if we are exporting the goods it is considered as zero rated supply which are in turn are considered as taxable one) ???

      This is purely my opinion I am an aspiring CA so please correct me if I am wrong .
      Firstly Distinction between exempt and zero rated supply is as follows:

      For a “zero-rated good,” the government doesn’t tax its sale but allows credits for the value-added tax paid on inputs. If a good or business is “exempt,” the government doesn’t tax the sale of the good and producers cannot claim a credit for the gst they pay on inputs to produce it.

      For Rule 42 T2 includes ITC for exempt supply only
      whereas T4 includes ITC for zero rated supply

  2. Aishwarya Satpute says:

    With regards to rule 42 of apportionment of ITC, if we are exporting goods which are already under exempt category, then for the purpose of Rule 42 whether it is consider as exempt supply or it is consider as taxable supply ( As if it is export then it is zero rate supply and for rule 42 zero rated supply is taxable supply )

  3. Kailash Joshi says:

    Whether reversal of ITC in respect of unsold flats by a builder on receipt of completion certificate is required to be done under Rule 42 of CGST Rules or there is some other procedure.
