The tax revenue collected\nunder IGST is distributed among the central and state governments according to\na pre-determined formula. The IGST revenue is first collected by the central\ngovernment and then distributed to the respective states. The distribution of\nIGST revenue is based on the destination principle, which means that the tax\nrevenue is attributed to the state where the goods or services are consumed. To\ndetermine the amount of revenue that each state will receive, the IGST\ncollected is apportioned among the states based on the consumption of goods or\nservices in each state. This apportionment is done based on the recommendations\nof the GST Council, which is a body consisting of representatives from the\ncentral and state governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, the state where the goods or services are consumed will\nreceive the tax revenue collected under IGST, and the distribution of revenue\nis determined based on the consumption of goods or services in each state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Refunds_Claim_In_Case_Of_IGST\"><\/span>Refunds Claim In\nCase Of IGST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a refund of Integrated Goods and Service Tax (IGST), you need\nto follow the below process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Verify Eligibility<\/strong>: You must first verify that you are eligible for an IGST refund. Some common cases where a refund can be claimed include exports, deemed exports, and supplies made to SEZ units or developers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>File the Refund Claim<\/strong>: Once you have\nconfirmed your eligibility, you can file a refund claim on the GST portal in\nForm RFD-01. You will need to provide details of the tax paid, the period for\nwhich the refund is claimed, and other relevant information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Submit Documents<\/strong>: You will need to\nsubmit supporting documents such as invoices, shipping bills, and bank\nstatements along with your refund claim. These documents will help the\nauthorities verify your claim and process it faster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Verification<\/strong>: After you submit your\nrefund claim and supporting documents, the tax authorities will verify your\nclaim. They may also ask for additional information if required. Once the\nverification is complete, the authorities will process your refund.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that the refund process for IGST can be\ncomplex and time-consuming. It&#8217;s advisable to seek the assistance of a tax\nprofessional to help you with the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, in summary, IGST is a tax levied on inter-state transactions of goods and services in India.
