If your products are sold by way of charging tax, then irrespective of rate charged on final products (whether or not final product is subject to cess in addition to Cgst\/sgst or igst) , then compensation cess is &quot;not Refundable&quot;, as input of cess can be utilized &quot; Only&quot; against payment of output cess.<br \/>\n2.

It will come after 90 days and that too chances of it being dismissed is high as we already have circular\/clarification. Advance ruling cannot override the GST Law.<br \/>\nCess for Inverted duty structure : We pay &#8377; 400\/- PMT as cess on coal. Say the Coal is Trading at &#8377; 8500 to 9000 (PMT) (This being indigenous procured coal) (Say 400\/ 8500 = 5% Say) and &#8377; 11500\/- (400\/11500 = 3% Say). Your final product must be taxable at more than 5%, so it will be impossible to prove that accumulation is on account of in<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">=  =  =  =  =  =  =  =<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Plain text (Extract) only<\/strong><BR>For full text:-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxtmi.com\/forum\/issue?id=114133\">Visit the Source <\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">=  =  =  =  =  =  =  =<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REFUND OF COMPENSATION CESS IN INVERTED DUTY STRUCTURE Query (Issue) Started By: &#8211; Vinay Jhawar Dated:- 9-9-2018 Last Reply Date:- 17-9-2018 Goods and Services Tax &#8211; GSTGot 9 RepliesGSTCan one claim refund of unutilised input tax credit of compensation cess paid on coal purchase, in application for inverted duty structure along with CGST and SGST &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/?p=13601\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;REFUND OF COMPENSATION CESS IN INVERTED DUTY STRUCTURE&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13601\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
