Textile exporters seek exemption from GST

By

Textile exporters have urged the government to exempt them from the integrated goods and services tax (IGST). The GST Council has finalised rates between 5 and 28 per cent of applicable IGST on various products. Additionally, 5 per cent GST is applicable on job work also. “Merchant exporters cannot benefit from the facility of exports under bond /letter of undertaking (LUT). There is no enabling document prescribed by the government under which goods can be cleared by a manufacturer without charging IGST meant for exports by a merchant exporter against bond/LUT. In absence of such a provision, the manufacturer charges IGST on the goods supplied to the merchant exporter meant for exports under bond/LUT. In the erstwhile central excise regime, there was a facility under which a merchant exporter who has executed a bond (B-1 bond) was provided with C T 1 certificates. Introduce a similar facility at the earliest so that the merchant exporters exporting under bond / LUT can get IGST-free goods from the manufacturers,” said Ujwal Lahoti, chairman, The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (Texprocil).

GST collection for November rises by 8.5% to Rs.1.82 trillion

By
  New Delhi: Driven by festive demand, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections for the Union and state governments climbed to Rs.1.82 trillion in November, marking an 8.5% year-on-year growth, according to official data released on Sunday. Sequentially, however, the latest collection figures are lower than the Rs.1.87 trillion reported in October, which was the second highest reported so far since the new indirect tax regime was introduced in 2017.
