Deemed exports are to be treated similar to exports, these supplies are not zero-rated supplies by default. Thus, GST shall be applicable on all the deemed export at the point of supply. Furthermore, these Supplies cannot be made under Bond / LUT without payment of tax.
However, the supplier or the recipient of the goods can claim a refund of the tax paid on such supply. But once the refund has been claimed by the supplier, the recipient will not be eligible to claim the ITC on the same.
The process of supplying the goods (produced/manufactured in the country) on an international scale is known as Export. Such supply of goods and service contribute to the growth of an economy and thus enjoy the perk of being treated as zero-rated supplies. However, there is a certain category of supplies, as notified by the Central Government, wherein the supply is treated as an export, even if the goods do not leave the national borders. Such supply of goods is known as Deemed Exports under GST.
