I have a question regarding payment of CVD and SAD as per old Customs duty structure and setting off of the same under GST regime.
Our question is as under:
Suppose I, as MANUFACTURER, have an Advance Authorization (Advance Licence) issued in 2016 .In the advance licence we have made import and effected export also but, unfortunately we could not fulfill complete Export Obligation and for regularization of the advance licence, we need to pay applicable customs duty on the excess import made by us with interest. The applicable duty structure( when the goods imported by us) of the imported item for which we need to pay customs duty with applicable rate of interest is 7.5% Basic Customs duty +12.5 Additional Customs duty (CVD)+2% Higher education cess+1% Secondary Higher Education Cess+4% Special additional duty(SAD).
Before application of GST, 12.5% CVD and 4% SAD were to be allowed to be set off by Claiming CENVAT. Now,my question is if, i regularize the advance licence today by paying the Customs duty as applicable rate as above how can i claim set off of CVD as well as SAD paid by me in the GST regime ?
