GST Audit Reveals Exporter Not Liable for Tax on Invoice Value Shortfall When Payment Reduction Is Commercially Justified An exporter encountered a discrepancy during a GST audit after receiving $900 instead of the full $1000 invoice value for exported goods. Multiple forum responses suggest the exporter is not liable to pay GST on the $100 shortfall, provided the reduction is due to commercial reasons like damages or discounts. The key legal principle is that GST applies only to the actual supply value, and export refunds are based on invoice value, not realized payment. (AI Summary)
