Money the GST system owes you, back in your account
A GST refund is the amount a business can reclaim when it has paid more tax than it owed, or where the law entitles it to a refund for reasons like exports, an inverted duty structure, or input tax credit it hasn’t been able to use. Left unclaimed, this is simply cash sitting locked in the tax system instead of in your business.
Refunds are filed electronically through the GST portal, with the process and documentation varying by refund type. Missing the filing window or submitting incomplete documents is the most common reason claims stall.
- Exports of goods or services, zero-rated under GST
- Unutilised input tax credit from exempt or export-heavy sales
- Inverted duty structure — more tax paid on inputs than collected on outputs
- Excess GST paid due to a computation or filing error
- GST paid on advances for supplies never delivered
Anyone with GST credit locked up in the system
ITC on export-linked purchases
Since exports are zero-rated, exporters routinely accumulate input tax credit they’re entitled to claim back.
Inputs taxed higher than outputs
Manufacturers and traders where the GST rate on inputs exceeds the rate on what they sell.
Overpayments and cancelled orders
Excess tax paid by error, or GST paid on advances for orders that were later cancelled.

Questions companies ask first.
Can I claim a refund on GST paid on exports?
Yes. Since exports are treated as zero-rated supplies, exporters can claim a refund of the input tax credit accumulated on purchases used to produce the exported goods or services.
What’s an inverted duty structure refund?
It applies when the GST rate on your inputs is higher than the rate on what you sell, so credit builds up faster than you can use it. The excess can be claimed back as a refund.
Why do GST refund claims get delayed or rejected?
Most delays trace back to incomplete or mismatched documentation, or returns for the relevant period not being filed. We reconcile everything before filing so the claim goes through cleanly the first time.
