I have GST registered firm Shah International - doing activity in India for Japanese company viz. Promoting their product, generating inquiry from India customers, India customer place order and payment directly to Japanese company - Japanese company directly supply goods to customer in India.
Managing their agents( motivating, controlling) in India, if required technical support to customer, I am providing.
Should I prepare Tax invoice to Japanese company with IGST? OR it is Export of Services without Payment (under LUT).
Kindly advise.
Thanks & Regards,

GST Applicability for Indian Firm's Services to Japanese Company: IGST Invoice or Export Under LUT? Seek Advance Ruling. A discussion took place regarding the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applicability for services provided by an Indian firm to a Japanese company. The firm, Shah International, promotes the Japanese company's products in India, manages agents, and provides technical support. The query was whether to issue a tax invoice with Integrated GST (IGST) or treat it as an export of services under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT). Responses suggested the service might be classified as a commission agent or intermediary service, subject to Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST), with the place of supply being India. An advance ruling was also recommended for further clarity. (AI Summary)
