DTA to DTA To SEZ Supply, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[SUDHIRKUMAR SHAH]

One of my client is supplying steel in SEZ. He is purchasing from from Manufacturer for further supply to SEZ. In this case is it possible to purchase without payment of GST ?

In my view, you can avail the benefit of Notification no. 41/2017- IGST on merchant exporter.

Whether such sale will be subject to Customs duty as applicable in case of DTA sales from SEZ?

This purchase cannot be made by the DTA without payment of tax.

Also this would not be covered under the merchant export notification and will not be eligible for the reduced rate of GST.

You can any way take credit of GST charged by vendor and apply for refund in case you cannot utilise it

Supply to SEZ will not be liable to customs duty

Dear Sir, 

Purchase from a DTA is a different transaction whether intended to sell to a SEZ sector, Export supply, or otherwise. The manufacturer cannot supply goods without collecting applicable taxes. The Purchaser can avail ITC or get the refund of such tax paid if supplies effected under zero rated taxes. DTA cannot purchase without payment of tax on purchases.

This is my personal opinion.
