The CBIC has amended IGST Rate notifications in order to provide that IGST will not be levied on importer under RCM on supply of ocean freight services by foreign shipping line to foreign exporter. In this regard, three notifications have been issued and these notifications shall be effective from October 1st, 2023.
Notably, these changes are incorporated to give effect to decision of Apex Court in case of Mohit Minerals since the Government has already amended place of supply provisions for services of transportation of goods by vessel.
