This is very interesting question. The amendment was inserted to provide the benefit of zero rating to frieght for export of goods. But the amendment was without proper analysis. The definition of Export of services in IGST Act is not referred. The export of service needs to fulfill 5 conditions. One of those conditions is that the recipient of service should be located outside India. In case of frieght for goods movement from exporter’s place to port of export is located in India. It will still not fall in export of service. Even it is creating confusion in taxpayers.
