Delhi Tribunal allowed to claim refund of CVD, Cess & SAD
Tribunal allowed a refund of the Countervailing Duty, Cess & Special additional Duty:
- In case, we have to pay Basic Customs Duty (BCD), Cess Special Additional Duty (SAD), and Countervailing Duty (CVD) on our imports made before the implementation of GST in order to regularise a bona fide default under an advance authorization.
- After implementation of GST, GST Law restrictions prevent us from claiming an input tax credit for CVD, SAD, or cess. It is big Question in our mind that Can we claim refund of the BCD, CVD, SAD?
“We advise you to request a refund of the Cess, CVD, and SAD you have paid to regularise the default under the advance authorization.”
