GST REFUND FOR ZERO RATED SUPPLY WITHOUT PAYMENT OF TAX

[Guest]

Per CGST Act  54, a registered unit can claim refund of unutilized input tax credit at the end of the relevant tax period against their zero rated supplies made without payment of tax through GST portal under RFD-01A. While applying for refund, the system indicates the value of ITC available for the relevant period. Need to know whether we have to deduct the amount of ITC utilized to set off the liaibility towards outward supply of goods/services during the relevant period. Those who have knowledge on this may please revert with their inputs.

Rule 89 provides for refund proportionately.

This formula automatically takes care of ITC pertaining to domestic supply.

AI Summary

Proportionate refund under Rule 89 ensures input tax credit for domestic supplies is automatically accounted in zero rated refund claims. GST refund claims for zero rated supplies without payment of tax require claiming unutilized input tax credit via the refund application. The applicable computation under Rule 89 uses a proportionate refund formula that allocates input tax credit between zero rated and domestic supplies and thereby automatically accounts for ITC attributable to domestic supplies and ITC already applied against outward liabilities.
