GST LUT Filing refers to the process of submitting the Letter of Undertaking (LUT) under the Goods and Services Tax regime. It allows businesses engaged in exports to claim a waiver from paying Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) on exported goods and services.
Businesses engaged in the export of goods or services and seeking to avail the benefit of zero-rated GST are eligible to file LUT. Generally, entities with a satisfactory compliance track record are eligible for LUT filing.
While specific requirements may vary, common documents include a copy of the LUT form, a statement of self-declaration, a copy of the GST registration certificate, and any other documents required by the GST authorities.
Failure to file GST LUT within the specified timeframe may result in the business being required to pay IGST on exported goods and services. Additionally, non-compliance could lead to penalties or other repercussions as per GST regulations.
