GST is a significant reform in the landscape of Indian taxation. Filing GST returns timely is among the important business compliances. <\/a>At the same time, it is also important to know about the refunds you can get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several ways to reduce your tax liability, such as claiming input tax credit and knowing how to get GST refund for SEZ supply<\/strong>. In this blog, we will cover all you need to know about GST refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to get a GST refund, it is important to fill out the pre-application form. In it, you have to enter important information such as the Aadhaar number, details of income tax, amount of expenditure, investments, business details, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You do not need to sign this form and you have to be very careful while filling it. Once submitted, the information cannot be edited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how to fill up and submit the refund pre-application form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bottom section has a declaration which says that the information entered by you is true and you will not be able to change the information once the form is submitted. Click on the checkbox to acknowledge this statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under GST, exports are treated as zero-rated supplies. It means that the IGST and cess a business pays on any exports are eligible for a refund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The GST portal provides a user-friendly platform<\/a> for refunding GST paid on exports. It applies to consumer products, product suites and vendor payments. There is no need to fill RFD-01.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are 2 things you have to fill up to initiate the refund:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The invoice data for payment of tax for exports under Table 6A of Form GSTR-1 must include the shipping bill number, the date on the shipping bill and the port code. You have to ensure that the IGST and cess under Table 3.1 of GSTR-3B are equal to or higher than the data under Table 6A and Table 6B of GSTR-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The shipping bill is an important part of the refund application for payment of tax. The GST portal sends the details of supplies made in GSTR-1 to ICEGATE. It also sends a confirmation message about the fact that GSTR-3B was filed for the correct period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The customs department<\/a> will tally the information in GSTR-1 to the details in the shipping bill and Export General Manifest (EGM). After this, the refund is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ICEGATE will share details about the refund with the GST portal after the refund is credited. The GST portal will send information about the refund to the taxpayer via SMS or email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have to fill up the RFD-01 to claim the following types of GST refund:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a taxpayer, you need to provide accurate details about your invoices in GSTR-1 and RFD-01. In some cases, you may need a certificate from a chartered accountant or cost accountant and submit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the steps you need to follow to file a refund application with RFD-01:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Application Reference Number (ARN) will be shown on the screen. A refund processing officer will receive the application. It will also be reflected in the refund status, which you can check with the ARN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Below, we have discussed the different kinds of information you will have to submit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Under this, you have to specify the balance available in the cash ledger and the amount you want to claim as a refund. For both, you have to enter numbers for ‘Integrated Tax’, ‘Central Tax’, ‘State\/UT Tax’ and ‘Cess’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have to enter the data for different columns such as tax, interest, penalty, fee, others and the total amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here you have to enter the information present in GSTR-3B. It will contain details of the excess tax paid such as integrated tax, central tax, state\/UT tax and cess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this refund, you have to follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you need to know how to get GST refund for SEZ supply<\/strong>. Ensure you have already filled up and submitted GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B. The steps are the same as those listed in Type 3. But, you have to submit Statement 5 and upload a CSV file instead of a JSON one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inverted tax means that the GST paid on inputs is greater than the GST on the output sold. You can use the input tax credit (ITC) to claim credit on the tax you have already paid on the input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The steps to apply for it are the same as those for Type 3. But here you have to submit Statement 1A. Along with it, you have to submit details such as turnover of inverted rated supply, net input tax credit, adjusted total turnover and tax payable.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have received deemed exports and paid taxes on them, you are eligible for a refund for the tax you paid. However, the refund provision does not extend to the supplier of deemed exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, the steps are the same as those in Type 3, but you have to submit Statement 5B. You also need to submit information such as the net input tax credit of deemed exports and the refund amount you are claiming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The steps for submission are the same as those in Type 3. Here, you have to submit Statement 4. According to the statement uploaded, the refund amount will be auto-populated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have to follow the same steps as those in Type 3 and submit Statement 6. The refund amount will be filled based on the statement uploaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the same steps as those in Type 3 and upload Statement 5B. As per the statement, the refund amount will be auto-filled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The steps are the same as those which have to be followed for Type 3 and you have to submit Statement 2. The refund amount will be auto-filled based on the uploaded statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here you have to select the type of order and enter details such as demand ID, order number and order date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are claiming a refund for any other reason, you can specify it in 200 characters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Refund Claim By Unregistered Person<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An unregistered person can file a refund claim by using RFD-01 and providing Statement 8, a supplier certificate and other necessary documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Embassies and international organisations can claim refunds by using GSTR-11 or RFD-10. In this section, we will discuss the steps for using both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the steps for getting a refund via GSTR-11:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the steps for getting a refund via RFD-10:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of the things which happen after applying for a GST refund:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Provisional Refund<\/strong>: Sometimes, a provisional refund may be approved via Form RFD-04. It must be done within 7 days of receiving the acknowledgement, and at least 90% of the requested refund should be granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Acknowledgement of Application<\/strong>: Acknowledgement is provided via Form RFD-02 within 15 days of filing the refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deficiency Memo<\/strong>: If your application has any issues, the officer may issue a deficiency memo using Form RFD-03.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clarification Notice<\/strong>: If the officer requires further information, they may send a clarification notice using Form RFD-08. You must respond within 15 days using Form RFD-09.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSteps to Submit a Refund Pre-Application Form<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
