Dear Member,
We would like to inform you that Sahar Air Cargo Complex has issued Public Notice No.54/2018 dated February 16, 2018 on the above subject.
Your kind attention is invited to the Notification No. 42/2017-Cus dated June 30, 2017, Notification No. 102/2007-Cus dated September 14, 2007 & Notification No. 93/2008 dated August 1, 2008 regarding refund of 4% Additional duty of Customs (generally referred to as "SAD") and also, Sahar Air Cargo’s Public Notices Nos. 28/2008 dated December 16, 2008 and 01/2009 dated February 19, 2009 and Facility Notice No. 05/2015 dated July, 19, 2015.
To give effect for refund of 4 % SAD under GST regime, enabling amendments were made in Notification No. 42/2017-Cus dated June 30, 2017, which was applicable to the goods which were imported on payment of SAD and were being sold after payment of appropriate GST, instead of VAT/CST, in GST regime.
Refund claims submitted by importers were being processed in terms of the said Notification No. 42/2017- Cus dated June 30, 2017.
Now, in order to streamline the procedure for processing refund claims filed to avail refund of 4% SAD (paid prior to July 1, 2017 and sales made thereafter), importers are now required to submit following documents/declaration which are annexed to the Public Notice No. 54/2018:
(i) "Annexure — A" (Calculation work sheet)
(ii) "Revised Annexure — B" (Self declaration by the importer)
(iii) "Revised Annexure — C" (Summary of sale invoices)
(iv) "Revised Annexure — E" (Certificate by C.A.)
(v) The importers are also required to submit evidence/proof of payment of IGST or
CGST + SGST/UTGST as the case may be.
The procedure as prescribed under Public Notice No. 28/2008 dated December 16, 2008 and Public Notice No. 01/2009 dated February 19, 2009 and Facility Notice No. 05/2015 dated July 19, 2015 should continue to be followed for refund claims, where goods are sold before July 1, 2017.
Members may kindly make a note of the above and do as advised.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
S.BALARAJU
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
