Case: Office Official Liquidator dated: 11.09.2019

Query: Whether sale of the Aircraft by the Official Liquidator to a buyer located outside India qualifies to be an “Export of goods” in terms of the GST  law, and hence, eligible for benefit of zero rated supply as per section 16 of the IGST Act.  This is in view of the fact that the invoice for sale is raised on a buyer located outside India and that is reasonably certain that the Aircraft would be taken outside India post repairs and approvals as stated by the buyer

If the place of supply is not outside and this sale of the Aircraft  does not qualify as “export of goods”, then what would be the place of supply?

Since the aircraft was imported for operation as Non-Scheduled air transport (passenger) services, can it be treated as aircraft falling under Tariff item 8802 – as aircraft other than for personal use; and since the buyer is a corporate legal entity in USA and would use the Aircraft for commercial purposes, whether the correct GST rate applicable would be 5 percent as per Entry 244 of Schedule I.  Further, since the instant sale of aircraft is a subsequent sale (i.e. sale of  second hand goods) would GST compensation cess be levied on such sale (given that the intention behind compensation cess is that to compensate the states for loss of revenue from the earlier duty levied on manufactured goods).

Since the transaction is eligible for benefit of zero-rating, can the Buyer claim a refund of the GST and the compensation cess paid by it.
