PaieOverview of GST LUT Filing
The GST LUT (Letter of Undertaking) filing is an important compliance requirement for businesses engaged in export of goods and services under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. The LUT enables businesses to export goods or services without paying the integrated goods and services tax (IGST) at the time of export. Instead, businesses can claim a refund of the input tax credit (ITC) paid on their purchases.
At Taxpaie, we offer GST LUT Filing Services to help businesses export goods and services efficiently while ensuring full compliance with GST laws. Our team of experts will guide you through the process of filing the GST LUT and help you understand the benefits of this filing, making the process smooth and hassle-free.
What is GST LUT
The Letter of Undertaking (LUT) is a document that allows businesses to export goods or services without paying any GST on the exported items. It is an alternative to paying IGST on exports and then applying for a refund. By filing the LUT, exporters can avoid the cash flow burden that would otherwise be incurred by paying the IGST upfront. The LUT serves as an undertaking that the exporter will meet all GST obligations related to the export transaction
