Input tax credit on capital goods: refundable credit not available for exporters using LUT; refunds limited to inputs.
Zero-rated supply status allows a registered exporter to avail input tax credit and to claim refund either under bond/Letter of Undertaking without payment of integrated tax or on payment with subsequent refund claims. However, the statutory refund calculation and the defined concept of net ITC confine refundability to credits on inputs, excluding accumulated credit on capital goods; therefore accumulated ITC on capital assets is not eligible for refund under the prescribed refund mechanism.
