GST Refund Process for Exporters, GST Return on Exports, and FAQs on GST Refund on Export The new GST Return Filing system is expected to streamline and simplify the process of filing regular returns and tracking ITC. Read our post on export comparison for a quick look at how the reporting of exports differs between current and new returns. In this article, there is information on the GST Refund process for exporters, and other relevant information on GST Refund on export. Introduction Exports of products are deemed zero-rated supplies that are exempt from GST and are eligible for a GST Refund under the rules of the IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax) statute. The GST site was created to make it easier to file GST Refund claims. In this article, we'll look at how to get a GST Refund on exports. Information on GST Return on Exports The taxpayer must submit an application in the form GSTR-1 and give export details (Table 6A) as well as details of the integrated tax paid on the shipping bill. In addition, the GSTR-3B application form must be proposed for the tax year for which a refund is to be paid. The GST portal then shares the export data contained in form GSTR1 with ICEGATE (Indian Customs Electronic Gateway), together with a form GSTR3B filed for the appropriate tax period. The system compares the information on Form GSTR 01 to the information on their Shipping Bill and EGM and begins the refund process. In this scenario, the taxpayer does not need to submit a separate refund application; instead, the shipping bill will be treated as a refund application. The ICEGATE system will give payment information once the refund payment has been credited to the taxpayers' accounts, and the GST Portal will transmit the details to the taxpayers by SMS and E-mail.
