SEZ Units Can't Claim GST Refund on Capital Goods Without IGST; EOU Export Rules Differ for Duty-Free Imports A discussion on a forum addressed queries regarding the refund of unutilized GST credits for SEZ (Special Economic Zone) or EOU (Export Oriented Unit). It was clarified that SEZ units cannot claim a refund on GST paid for capital goods without IGST payment, while EOU can export with taxes if goods are not made from duty-free imports. SEZ units must register separately and can only deal with IGST. Supplies to SEZ must be zero-rated, and SEZ exports cannot currently pay IGST for refunds. Integration of SEZ and ICEGATE portals is ongoing. There are no legal restrictions on SEZ exporting with tax payment. (AI Summary)
