The GST-Authority for Advance Rulings (Rajasthan bench) has decided that Bebymill was correctly charging 18% GST for its infant milk formula products. The manufacturer asked for the AAR’s opinion, as competitors were charing only 5% for the same products.
Tax experts emphasize that the classification norm should become simpler. Similar products can be exempt (lassi), subject to 12% (flavoured milk) or, according to this decision, 18%.
