In our previous article 'Process to pay VAT through e-guarantee', we have learnt about the scenarios of import of goods by non-registrants. We have learnt of the 2 modes of payment of VAT by non-registrants:

• Pay VAT on import
• Provide e-guarantee

We have also learnt the process to be followed by non-registrants to pay VAT on import through an e-guarantee. In brief, the process is as given below:

• Prepare and submit customs declaration in Customs portal
• A Customs official will validate the declaration details and approve the same. A notification on the approval will be sent to the importer and to the FTA
• Obtain e-guarantee from a bank for value equal to the value of VAT due
• The importer has to create an e-Services account
• Login to the FTA portal and make the VAT payment

In this article, let us understand the steps to be followed by a non-registrant to submit an e-guarantee in the FTA portal.
