Minimum Threshold limit

[Archna Gupta]

Hi,

Please suggest whether the limit of 20 lacs is applicable on exporters of services also as this limit now covers Inter state supply also.

Thanks

Yes, the value of export is to be included while arriving at threshold limit of ₹ 20 lakhs.

[DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN]

Yes, applicable.

Exporters need to be registered under GST irrespective of the Turnover Limit.

Please refer Section 24 - Compulsory registration.

It says persons making Inter state supplies. Export is an Inter State Supply.

Dear Mr. Ramaswamy,

Sec 24 regarding compulsory registration for doing Inter state sales of taxable services has been changed after Notification No. 10/2017- Integrated Tax dated 13th October, 2017 has been issued by the Government. That is the reason this confusion is arising.

Thanks for the reminding 10/2017.

Per se the notification exempts from Registration in case of inter state supply of services.

However, my suggestion is not to de-register.

Regards

We are not registered yet. Now we would have to register or exemption applicable on export.

It is advisable to register under GST rather than seeking exemption from registration under the threshold.

Rightly advised by Sh.S.Ramaswamy Sir.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

I too agree with the views of the experts.

[Kishan Barai]

ITXC on exports would only be allowed if you have GSTN number

[Kishan Barai]

ITC for exports would be only allowed if you have GST number

[CSSANJAY MALHOTRA]

GSTN no should replace completely the IEC code in times to come. Retention of GSTIN as suggested by my friends would gain the company.

AI Summary

GST 20 Lakh Threshold: Service Exporters Should Include Export Value for Compliance and ITC Benefits A discussion on a forum addresses whether the 20 lakh threshold limit under GST applies to service exporters, considering interstate supply rules. The consensus among participants is that export value should be included when calculating the threshold. Despite a notification (10/2017) exempting interstate service supply from registration, experts advise registering under GST to ensure compliance and benefit from Input Tax Credit (ITC) on exports. It is noted that having a GST number is crucial for availing ITC, and the GSTIN is expected to eventually replace the Importer Exporter Code (IEC).
