    For procurement for the purpose of supply to SEZ units. Can we ask vendor to charge us at concessional rate of 0.1%?? Since for all reasons SEZ is considered to be outside India and supply to SEZ from DTA is considered as Export.
    Because if vendor raises invoice at 18% though we raise invoice on SEZ customer @ 0% (LUT basis), we would face cash flow.
    Not sure how effective the refund of ITC will be , when we submit application

    dear sir,

    we would like to understand that as per gst law, what is the clarification and meaning of registered warehouse,

    as many gst office informs that it doesnt mean the primary place of business nor additional place of warehouse..

    for merchant exporters working under 0.1% they have to store good to registered warehouse meant for merchant exporters only, and they cant store in there owned warehouse which is mentioned on the additional place of gst registration.

    please if you have any clarification on this matter or any circular please if you can send us or guide us on the same.

    regards
    ankit
