What is Export Without GST?

Export without GST refers to the export of goods and services without the imposition of GST under specific provisions outlined in the GST laws. This approach encourages exporters by reducing the financial burden and improving their competitive edge in international markets.

Under GST, exports are classified as zero-rated supplies, meaning they are taxable but the tax rate is zero. Exporters can export goods and services without paying GST by availing themselves of one of the two methods:

  • Export under Bond/LUT (Letter of Undertaking): Exports can be made without payment of IGST by furnishing a bond or LUT.
  • Export with Payment of IGST: Exporters pay IGST on exports and later claim a refund.

Exporting goods and services plays a crucial role in the global economy and offers significant benefits to businesses.
