Refund of Inverted Duty, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[THYAGARAJAN KALYANASUNDARAM]

Dear Experts,

One of my clients selling specified goods to R&D Govt. Dept and charge @ 5% GST as per the notification no.45/2017 dated 14.11.2017 - Central Tax(Rate) whereas he purchases at higher rate of tax 12% & 18%.

Now, my query is that, will he be apply for refund u/s 54 of GST Act, for the un-utilized ITC and would be treated as Inverted Duty structure?

Thanks in Advance.

Answer is yes.

Please note that refund would not be of the un-utilised ITC effectively for the reason that refind of input services and capital goods would not be eligible. It is only w.r.t. the inputs. Though there are certain writs filed in this regard.

Re-examined the issue. I agree with the views of Shilpi Jain Ji.
