Choose GST refund tools for service exports

Choose a refund tool by the work you need help with: collecting records, preparing statements, running a practice workflow or engaging someone to file the claim. The five options below cover different parts of an accumulated-ITC refund on service exports under LUT.

Fast GST Refund publishes this comparison. Competitor features are based on their public documentation; we have not tested their paid products.

Choose by the job you need done

Option	Useful when	Check before choosing
GST portal and official utilities	You or your CA will prepare and file the claim.	Who will reconcile the source records and review the calculation?
Gen GST	Your tax team wants GST software with an Annexure B workflow.	Does the quoted package cover your complete service-export case?
MyGSTRefund	You want a provider involved in preparation and filing.	What work, fees and post-filing support does the engagement cover?
Zoho Books	Your invoices and bills already live in the accounting system.	Which bank, return and refund records must be added?
Fast GST Refund	You want to create the Statement 3 and Annexure B JSON without Excel, or need free templates, guidance and allocation checks.	Which part of your working will you prepare next?

GST portal and official utilities

Use the current Statement 3 and Annexure B utilities from your refund application. This route suits a claimant or adviser who can maintain the invoice, receipt and credit working and review the final application. The GST refund manual covers the official upload and filing steps.

Start with what the claim contains to assemble the records beyond the two statement files.

Gen GST

SAG Infotech documents an Annexure B workflow that imports GSTR-2B or government Excel data and generates JSON. Ask for a demonstration of your other requirements, including Statement 3 receipts, the refund calculation and review records. See the Gen GST review for the vendor source and evaluation questions.

MyGSTRefund

MyGSTRefund advertises software combined with refund services. If you want the provider to perform part of the work, obtain a written scope covering preparation, review, filing, notices and fees. The MyGSTRefund review explains the questions to settle before sharing access.

Zoho Books

Zoho documents invoice and bill exports and GSTR-2B reconciliation. Use those records as inputs to your refund working, with separate bank evidence and filed-return checks. Follow how to export Zoho Books data.

Fast GST Refund

Create the Statement 3 and Annexure B JSON files in your browser with the JSON generator, without the Excel utilities. Checking your records is free; downloading both files costs ₹499 + GST once per GSTIN and refund period.

Download the free preparation pack for Statement 3 and Annexure B working templates, an offline receipt-allocation checker and a review checklist. You can also create an RCM self-invoice PDF or use the AI assistant connection to retrieve guidance, check anonymous allocations, and check your Statement 3 and Annexure B records before you create the files.

These tools do not retrieve data from your GST or accounting accounts, and they do not file the application.

Test your shortlist

Use one anonymised claim containing a partial receipt, an imported service and a capital asset. Check whether each proposed workflow preserves source references, explains exclusions, shows the calculation and produces records your reviewer can follow.
