What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

NASSCOM flagged two issues concerning the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applied to services exports ahead of the GST Council meeting on October 8. The issues relate to services supplied through foreign branches and research and development (R&D) performed in India on prototypes provided by overseas customers. NASSCOM stated that the company's overseas presence should not determine if a service from India is treated as an export.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Clarity on these tax rules could support the competitiveness of the IT-ITES industry and help release working capital for service exporters. Currently, R&D services done in India on foreign prototypes are generally treated as supplied in India, even if the results are used abroad.
