 INTRODUCTION

Trade has been an important and sensitive issue all over the world even before World War II.
After World War II world trade took a new shape like the adaptation of General Agreement
on Tariffs’ and Trades or the formation of World Trade Organisation. International Trade
involves both imports and exports and current account deficit is the main comparison and
measurement between import and export which determines the economic condition of the
country. Indian Government is striving real hard to reduce this deficit. Implementation of
Good and Service Tax (GST) was one of the initiative towards that direction.

In principal for trade, export should not be burdened with domestic taxes. Export enjoyed a
special treatment but implementation of GST demanded that the input-output chain should
not be broken. The exemptions on export have a tendency to break the chain. Therefore a
“zero-rated supply” method is introduced under the GST by which the Government is trying
to address all the important considerations relating to export of goods and services.
