Formula for reversing GST ITC Credit on Sale of MEIS/SEIS

[SHAHID HASHMI]

We are exporter. Hence we are getting MEIS/SEIS Script. We have planned to sale the same to other party. As per recent Notification, sales of script is come under exempted goods Chapter Heading No.4907.

Our queries as follows:

1. Whether sale of the same is come under Section 17(2).

2. Whether we have to reverse GST ITC for the above sales. Since we are selling goods at zero rates in case of export and we have got script based on export sales. Further neither we have taken any credit on purchase/issue of such script nor we have used any GST paid materials/services on sale of such script.

3. If so, what is the formula to be applied for reversing the GST ITC Script (if it is not 100% exempted).

In my view section 17(2) will not be applicable in your case. Experts views are solicited.

AI Summary

Reversal of GST Input Tax Credit on sale of export incentive scripts may not apply under input reversal rules. The note asks whether sale of MEIS/SEIS export incentive scripts-treated as exempt and generated from zero-rated exports where no input credit was claimed or GST-paid inputs used-requires reversal of GST Input Tax Credit under Section 17(2)-type provisions and, if so, what formula should apply. The reply states that the Section 17(2) style disallowance would not apply in these facts and seeks further expert views; no reversal formula is provided.
