What is LUT Registration

To promote the export of goods or services, the government has provided various reliefs and benefits under GST. Exports help to create employment, achieve a favorable balance of payment situation and boost the economic growth of the country. GST law provides 2 options to exporters:-
1) Export without payment of Taxes by applying for LUT Registration or Export Bond.
2) Export with payment of Taxes and claim a refund later.

Export Without Charging GST Using LUT – Letter of Undertaking

Generally, when an entity exports goods or services, are required to pay taxes. However, the GST law allows taxpayers to claim a refund of these taxes paid.

The GST method also offers an attractive alternative, where the taxpayer can apply for a Letter of Undertaking or Export bonds with the GST department. If the application is accepted by the department then the taxpayer is not required to pay any taxes on export, sparing the efforts for claiming a refund and avoid blocking of funds payment of taxes.

What is LUT Registration – Letter of Undertaking

The Letter of Undertaking (LUT) is a prescribed document to be furnished in Form GST RFD 11 under rule 96A, whereby the exporter declares that he/she would fulfill all the requirements prescribed under GST while exporting without making IGST payment. Any person registered under GST can submit a LUT only if they have not been prosecuted for tax evasion exceeding Rs. 2.5 Crore, or for any other offense under the CGST Act, the IGST Act 2017, or any other existing law. If the exporter does not meet the LUT requirements, his privileges can be revoked and he must leave a deposit.
