Banejee said that the economy is not yet ready to face the GST from July 1. The 3-day strike declared by the textile industries in the country was the evidence of our deep concerns on the lack of preparedness . Small business entities are not yet ready with basic requirements like invoice, accounting system, IT system, etc. Another piece of evidence of unpreparedness comes from the fact that

However to avail the IGST credit, the importer needs to mention the Port Code, Bill of Entry Number, Bill of Entry Date, aggregate IGST Taxable value, Total IGST Amount, Total GST Compensation Cess in the GST Return which would be validated online with ICEGATE.

ng exports made by non GST registered exporters 13. Taxable Value and IGST Paid Since the actual quantity and value of the goods finally exported may sometimes be at variance with that indicated on the export invoice, these particulars have to be individually declared for every item. Here, Taxable Value is the value of the item actually being exported on which IGST has been paid. In case of short shipments due to shut out/back to town, IGST has to be calculated proportionately item wise in the invoice based on the actual quantity of exports. This is further explained by the following illustration: Illustration: An exporter raises an export invoice as below: Item Quantity (units) Unit Price (Rs) Total Price IGST (Rs) A 1000 200 2,00,000 24,000 B 2000 100 2,00,000 24,000 4,00,000 48,000 Due to some reasons, he finally exports only 900 units of Item A and 1900 units of Item B.
