Let’s understand each one briefly.

1. Exempted

Exempt supply means supply of any goods or services or both which includes nil rate of tax or which may be wholly exempt from tax and includes non-taxable supply.

Thus it includes the supply of different types of goods and services:

  • Non-taxable supply;
  • Supply attracting nil rate of tax;
  • Supplies exempt under Section 11 of the GST Act excluding IGST and under Section 6 of the IGST Act;

2. Nil Rated

Goods or services on which GST rate of 0% is applicable (The GST rate schedule 1) are called Nil Rated Goods or Services.

Example: Grains, Salt, Jaggery etc.

3. Zero Rated

Zero rated supply means supply is taxable but rate of tax is zero. Therefore ITC is available on the goods or services or both.

Zero rated supplies includes

  • Export of goods or services or both to any other country outside India.
  • Supply of goods or services or both to SEZ / SEZ Developer.

4. Non-GST

It is the supply of goods or services or both that does not come under the purview of GST while other taxes maybe applicable.
