Sub: Inputs on Drawback rates under GST

Dear Member,

As you are aware, the Government has recently announced the All India Rates (AIR) of Duty Drawback vide Notification No.89/2017 - Customs (N.T.), dated 21-09-2017 and Notification No.88/2017 - Customs (N.T.), dated 21-09-2017 and Circular No. 38/ 2017- Customs dated 22.09.2017.

For the procedural revision of rates, the Drawback Committee has called for a meeting from 29th October, 2017 to 31st October, 2017 in Ahmedabad.

In this connection, the Council shall be preparing a PowerPoint presentation on appropriate rates for suggesting to the Drawback Committee, accordingly.

As we understand, the current GST rates do not include some of the State levies and other duties such as transmission charges, electricity duty, cross subsidy on electricity bills, taxes on fuel/ petroleum/ diesel, water cess, green tax, local body taxes, road taxes, labour cess, etc, which have been embedded and remain unrebated. We have prepared necessary input sheets given in Proformas 1, 2A and 2B for receiving information on these unrebated and unadjusted state levies/ taxes.

Member - exporters are kindly requested to send the required information as per the Proformas 1, 2A and 2B to the Council ( es@srtepc.in ) latest by 24th October, 2017 (Tuesday) to enable us to prepare the representation suitably on behalf of the industry.

Thanking you.
