18 August 2017 Hi, as part of trading activity we have made a sale to the customer in South Africa (transaction took place before GST). The customer made payment in USD from SA to India. But the material was handed over to the customer in our office in Hyderabad, Telangana state. Since the ownership of material was transferred "ex-works", we had considered the transaction as domestic sale and charged VAT. We have received different opinions from different professionals that, what we had done was correct treating the transaction as domestic sale. Some professionals formed an opinion that, transaction should have been recorded as as an Export sale. We are confused, please advise.
