Under GST, there are two options being provided to exporters of goods or services or both for effecting such supplies :

• Submit an LUT or Bond (as applicable) to Commissioner of GST. In this case, there is no need to pay tax on exports and assessee can claim refund of GST paid on its inward supplies.

• Pay IGST on exports and then after claim refund for the same.

• Letter of Undertaking (LUT):

  All registered taxpayers who export the goods or services will now have to furnish Letter of Undertaking (LUT) in GST RFD-11 form on the common portal of GSTN in order to make exports without payment of IGST. Letter of the undertaking has to be filed /submitted online before exporting the goods/services.

   

  Hence, If you are engaged in Import Export business, then it would always be a great option to file an LUT for getting exemption from paying GST.

   

• Exploring the LUT Bond

  LUT in GST holds a validity of one year, necessitating the submission of a fresh LUT for each subsequent financial year. Should the terms outlined in the LUT fail to be met within the designated timeframe; the privileges associated with it will be withdrawn, prompting the need for the exporter to provide bonds.
  
  For other assessments, bonds are required when conducting exports without Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) payment. LUTs and bonds are applicable in the following cases:
  
  Zero-rated supply to SEZ: Exporting to Special Economic Zones (SEZs) without IGST payment.
  
  Goods Export: Exporting goods to a country beyond India without IGST payment.
  
  Service Export: Providing services to clients in foreign countries without IGST payment.

• Benefits of filing LUT:

  • Once you submit the LUT, it is valid for one whole year.

  • There would be no additional compliance.

  • IGST will not have to be paid on exports for a year.

  • Due date and validity of LUT:

    A fresh LUT should be filed for each new financial year. One LUT will be valid for one financial year. That means if you have filed an LUT for FY 2019-20, it would expire on 31st March, 2020. So for FY 2020-21, a Fresh LUT needs to be filed.

    Extension in time limit of requirement for filing of LUT:

    For the Financial Year 2020-21, the CBIC has extended the time limit for filing the LUT under GST from 31st March, 2020 to 30th June 2020. and the taxpayer can continue to make the supply without payment of tax under LUT provided that the FORM GST RFD-11 for 2020-21 is furnished on or before 30.06.2020. Taxpayers may quote the reference no of the LUT for the year 2019-20 in the relevant documents.
