Refund on Inverted duty structure


  • Contents

A foreign company( F) and an indian company( D) together formed a consortium to execute a govt works contract services ( client-C). D imports materials from F and supplies them to C on cost basis with no value addition . D has to pay IGST on Import @ 18% and bills to Client on behalf of F(as F does not have any GST Regn) as per the Agreement on milestone basis @ 12%. So it ia case of Inverted duty structure and D is supposed to get Refund.

The fact is as per Agreement entered between consortium and client ,selling price of D to F is fixed as below:

say cost of material to D(import price) = 100(mat cost)+5(BCD) = 105 . GST paid on RCM basis on 105=18.90.(available as ITC). D has to sell the goods as it is to client(C) at ₹ 100(inclusive of GST). So effectively B is seeling it as a cost of ₹ 89.29(100/112*100). , tax charged to C=10.71. So D is selling goods to C at a loss and claiming credit from the Dept of Refund of ₹ 8.19(18.90-10.71). .

query: wheather there will be any problem for grant of refund under inverted rate to D ?

Refund should be eligible as there is no condition for refund under inverted duty structure that the output tax has to be paid on more than the cost.

In our view, before applying for refund due to inverted duty structure, you need to go through the Valuation Rules as goods are being sold on loss.

Please check whether this contract is hit by N.No. 15/Central tax(Rate). If Yes, refund in such case will not be allowed in case of inverted duty structure.
