The Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling, Uttar Pradesh bench of Member, held that IGST is applicable on the supply of goods outside India from outside India.

FACTS OF THE CASE

The Appellant, engaged in the business of supply of pumps, had received a purchase order from Bangladesh. Upon receipt of such purchase order, the parent Company of the Appellant, situated in Poland, directly shipped the goods to the customer in Bangladesh. In view of the above, the Appellant had sought an advance ruling before the Gujarat AAR to ascertain whether the Appellant is liable to pay IGST on out-and-out transactions taking place beyond the Customs frontiers of India. The AAR had held that IGST would be leviable on such transactions prior to 01 February 2019. Aggrieved, the Appellant preferred an Appeal before the Gujarat AAAR.

COURT HELD

The AAR further observed that the supply of goods in the instant case takes place from Poland, which is a non-taxable territory, to Bangladesh, which also is a non-taxable territory, without the said goods entering India, the transactions are covered by said Entry 7 of Schedule – III.
