Export Without Upfront Tax Payment
A Letter of Undertaking (LUT) is a government-approved document that lets exporters ship goods/services without paying IGST upfront. Instead of blocking funds in taxes, you export tax-free and comply with GST rules. Key Features:
- Mandatory for exporters: Required for all GST-registered businesses exporting goods/services.
- Tax relief: Saves immediate IGST cash outflow (0% tax during export).
- Validity: Renew every financial year (April 1–March 31).
Eligibility Simplified
You MUST file LUT if:
- You’re GST-registered and export goods/services.
- Your business supplies to Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
- You’re not involved in tax evasion cases above ₹2.5 crore.
You DON’T need LUT for:
- Domestic sales within India.
- Exports where IGST is paid (refund claimed later).
Why Exporters Love LUT
- Free Up Cash Flow:
- No IGST paid during export → Working capital stays in your business.
- Zero Refund Hassles:
- Avoid months-long IGST refund processes.
- Annual Validity:
- File once → Valid for 12 months (no monthly renewals).
- Faster Exports:
- Ship goods without tax paperwork delays.
Example: A ₹50 lakh export order saves ₹9 lakh (18% IGST) upfront with LUT.
