If your business exports goods or services, you can export without paying Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) by filing a Letter of Undertaking (LUT). The GST LUT filing allows exporters to make supply of goods or services without payment of IGST, subject to conditions. WeIncept offers seamless assistance with GST LUT filing to ensure that your exports are tax-free and compliant with GST regulations.
What Is GST LUT?
A Letter of Undertaking (LUT) is a document that businesses must submit to the government to export goods or services without the payment of IGST. By filing LUT, businesses can reduce their working capital blockages and avoid the hassle of paying taxes first and then claiming a refund. The LUT is valid for one financial year and must be renewed annually.
