Mineral Exporter to Nepal Queries GST Invoicing: Use LUT/Bond or Charge 5% IGST and Claim Credit? A merchant exporter dealing in minerals with Nepal inquired about preparing export invoices under the new GST regime, questioning whether to use a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) or bond, or to charge 5% IGST and claim credit.
