Simplified Laws Guide to Taxation and Legal Concern RoDTEP stands for Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products. It is a benefit scheme for exporters.
Are you an exporter of Goods from India?
If YES, are you in the pharmaceuticals, chemical, steel, or textile industries?
If you are an exporter (around 8555 tariff items), but not in the above sectors, are you an eligible candidate to apply for the RoDTEP scheme benefits.
The objective of the Scheme – To make ZERO tax suffered Exports. While producing the goods, the companies would be paying tax on fuel (like diesel), tax on electricity, stamp duty, municipal tax, unclaimed Input GST, etc. which are adding to the cost of production. To free exports from all such tax burdens, this scheme has been introduced.
Quantum of Benefit – It is difficult to compute the actual taxes paid on all these counts and thus, the benefit under this Scheme is given as a percentage of Freight On Board (FOB means Ex-Factory Price + other costs of exports) or a fixed amount per unit of measurement as notified. You can find the percentages based on the item code here https://content.dgft.gov.in/Website/dgftprod/d2eeb635-1227-469a-848c-496256397ff8/Appendix%204R%20as%20notified%20on%2017%20August%202021%20for%20DGFT%20Portal.pdf
How to apply? The detailed rules and procedure for applying are yet to be notified by the department. The benefits would be issued in the form of transferable scripts which could be redeemed for paying basic customs duty or the scripts can also be traded with some other party.
