Dear Sir,
As per the provisions included under IGST law, the exports of services are considered as zero-rated supply is exempted from GST and are eligible to claim the refund of GST paid.
A separate refund application in RFD-01 is required. You need to login to the GST portal and selecting Services > Refunds > Application for Refund > Export of Services with payment of tax > RFD-01.
We may assist you in entire procedure.
Yes you can file for refund. The application is filed online. I can apply for the same. Do schedule a consultation with me.
Hello,
Yes, It is possible to claim the refund of the Input tax credit since you are providing zero-rated supplies(exports).
The procedure would involve the filing of the correct refund application. FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate) is the important document required here to substantiate the occurrence of the event of export.
I hope this answer satisfies your requirements. For a detailed resolution of your query, you can contact us directly at badlaniassociates at Gmail or take a phone consultation.

Dear Sir,
In reference to your query, please note that Export of services are not exempt but classified as Zero Rated Supplies.
You are very much eligible to claim refund of the applicable ITC by filing the relevant for RFD-01.
The said application has to be made on period basis which be can from 1 month to 1 Financial Year.
However please note that you are compliant with the applicable provisions of law whilst claiming ITC, i.e. Section 16, 17 of The CGST Act, read with Rules 36, 42 & 86 of The CGST Rules 2017.
Please advise in case of any further clarification.

Respected Sir,
The taxpayers can claim the refund of accumulated ITC in the following situations:
Cases, where refund of unutilised ITC is not allowed, is as follows:
As your case is covered in the above cases, You can claim Refund.
As per Section 54 of the CGST Act, any person claiming the refund of GST or the interest paid should make an application in form RFD-01 within two years from the relevant date for most types of refunds. The “relevant date” given here varies with the type of refund claimed, explained in our article “Important definitions in GST refund”.
In case of unutilised ITC on account of exports or supplies to SEZ (zero-rated supplies), the applicant can file RFD-01 at the end of any tax period.
In case of refund claims by the embassies or international organisations, the application must be filed for the refund before the expiry of six months from the last day of the quarter in which such goods/service were received. The form used is RFD-10 in such cases after the furnishing of GSTR-11 return..
Thanks & Regards

Yes you can claim input Refund based on export of service, alternatively we can also do sales with payment of tax utilising GST credit
We are doing it regularly for our client
Yes, you can still claim the refund of ITC. You need to fill up the refund Form but its a little cumbersome process.
Thank you for good answers. I am a little unsure. What is the benefit of claiming the GST refund? Will company taxable amount not be the same if I claim GST refund or not? E.g. Assuming: Revenue=200 - Expenditure=118 => Income=82 Vs: Revenue=200 - GST refund=18 - Expenditure(w/o) GST=100 => Incoming=82 I assume GST refund can only be claimed on expenditure items. Are there other items I can claim GST refund for? The company is just starting up. As it is an IT service company, a lot of office equipment, laptops, etc have been purchased, but I understand I can only claim depreciation on those, not GST refund. Is it correct? Thanks again.
Yes you can surely claim refund of input tax credit even if there is no export and it is very easy in case of export of the input is related to your business.
We can help you file refund application and get refund
Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.
Thank you
Dear Sir,
In reference to your query, the immediate benefit you get is in the form of Cash Flow.
The refund being received in your bank would help in your working capital.
Also Refund of GST in relation to export can be claimed on all items - Goods, Capital Items & services.
Hence you can very well claim refund of ITC of GST paid on capital items. Depreciation can be claimed on the Net value.
Please advise in case of any further clarification.
Thanks & Regards,

- Office equipments, laptops are considered as capital goods and you can claim (Input tax credit) ITC on such goods. Further you can claim refund of such unutilised credit. On GST component in total cost either you can claim depreciation or ITC. On sale of such capital goods, you are liable to pay amount equal to the ITC taken on such capital goods reduced by the 5% points for every quarter or part thereof from the date of issue of the invoice for such goods or tax on transaction value whichever is higher.
