An Indian Proprietor with Resident and Ordinarily Resident (ROR) status must manage both domestic and international tax obligations. Key steps include obtaining a GST registration, applying for a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) to export services without paying integrated tax upfront, and ensuring all foreign income is reported in annual tax filings. Maintaining a clear compliance checklist helps in avoiding heavy penalties while selling digital products or services globally and within India.
The Letter of Undertaking (LUT) is a vital document for Indian proprietors exporting digital services or products. By filing an LUT under GST, you can export services at a zero-rated tax liability, meaning you do not have to pay IGST upfront and then claim a refund. This significantly improves cash flow for new proprietors. It must be filed annually through the GST portal before making any export sales to remain compliant with Indian tax laws.
Foreign Inward Remittance Advice (FIRA) is a document issued by banks in India to acknowledge the receipt of foreign currency from abroad. For a proprietor selling digital products worldwide, FIRA serves as legal proof that the export proceeds were received in convertible foreign exchange. This document is crucial for GST audits and serves as evidence to justify zero-rated exports, ensuring you stay compliant with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and tax authorities.
When selling both domestically and internationally, a proprietor must maintain separate records for GST purposes. Domestic sales attract standard GST rates based on the service category, while international sales can be zero-rated via an LUT. You must issue proper tax invoices for Indian customers and export invoices for foreign clients. Consistent record-keeping of FIRA for international transactions and timely GST returns are essential to avoid penalties and ensure smooth business operations.
