What's Good
about getting a Letter of Undertaking (LUT)
Tax-Free Export Benefits
Opting for the Letter of Undertaking (LUT) lets entities export without the immediate burden of tax payment. Unlike the alternative system, where taxes are initially paid and later claimed as refunds for zero-rated exports.
Simplified Process
Utilising the LUT streamlines the export process by eliminating the complexities associated with claiming tax refunds or engaging in follow-ups with tax authorities. This results in significant time savings and operational ease for exporters.
Unblocked Working Capital
Choosing the LUT frees up working capital for exporters, as funds that would have been tied up in immediate tax payments remain accessible. This is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) facing challenges related to financing and working capital.
