Exports i.e. the goods that are transported out of India are zero-rated under GST. This means that no GST rate is levied on deemed exports for goods as such. However, deemed exports are not zero-rated, and hence GST is levied on the goods that qualify as deemed exports. The supplier can avail of a full refund of this tax. The central government has notified a wide range of transactions that can qualify as deemed export under the Central Government Notification No. 48/2017- Central Tax. Since these transactions are not zero-rated, the supplier or the receiver has to pay tax on the supply of deemed exports. However, these taxes also qualify for refund for deemed export under GST.
