“I thought earning in dollars made me rich… until the tax notice came.”

Sounds dramatic? It’s not. For thousands of Indian freelancers, consultants, and agencies working with foreign clients, this isn’t a plot twist—it’s a painful reality.

If you’re offering services outside India and ignoring GST compliance, you’re sitting on a ticking time bomb.

Meet Rhea, a talented UI/UX designer from Mumbai. She had just landed a dream project with a Canadian tech firm. Payments in USD, flexible timelines—life was good.

She believed since the client was international and payment was in foreign currency, there was no need to worry about GST.

Months went by. Then, came the notice.
She hadn’t filed her GST returns properly. Worse—her foreign income was treated as taxable domestic revenue. No input tax credit. Penalty. Endless paperwork.

Her dream project turned into a compliance nightmare.

Rhea isn’t alone. Across India, service providers working with foreign clients make the same costly assumptions:

• “Foreign client = No GST” ❌
  
• “Freelancer = No rules apply” ❌
  
• “Small business = No compliance burden” ❌
  

The truth is:

Even export of services needs proper GST documentation and filing.

If you don’t classify it as export and fail to submit a Letter of Undertaking (LUT), you may:

• Lose your zero-rated GST benefit
  
• Be liable to pay 18% GST
  
• Miss out on input tax credit refunds
  
• Attract notices, penalties, and audits
  

Here’s the magic trick you never learned in business school:

Export of Services under GST = 0% GST + Refunds + Peace of Mind

If you’re offering services to clients outside India and receiving money in foreign currency, your services qualify as export under GST.

But… ONLY IF:
✅ You file an LUT
✅ You submit the right GST returns
✅ You document everything properly

🎯 When you do this:

• You don’t charge GST on your invoice
  
• You claim refunds for input tax
  
• You stay 100% compliant
  
• You boost profitability without hidden tax burdens
