Govt likely to extend key export incentive programme for five years
The Commerce Ministry wants the RoDTEP export incentive scheme extended by five years, since it ends on September 30. RoDTEP, or Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products, refunds taxes and levies exporters cannot claim elsewhere, at rates of 0.3% to 3.9%. Talks with the Expenditure Department are on, so nothing is confirmed yet. If you export, these refunds affect your pricing and margins.
