Impact of GST Brand Name in Food Processing Industry

One of the biggest areas of litigation plaguing the food processing industry has been the classification of goods into exempt and taxable supplies. For goods such as wheat, cereal flours, cereal groats, flour, pellets of potatoes, rice, flour of leguminous vegetables, rye, oats, maize, buckwheat, cheese, natural honey etc., the classification of goods depends on whether there is a registered brand name or a brand name with enforceable right or actionable claim associated
with the product being sold. Without a brand name with enforceable right, the GST is exempt in most cases whereas it is taxable in cases where the products possess the same.
