Flour mixes with additives attract 18% GST, clarifies Gujarat appellate authority

Live Mint  

New Delhi: The Gujarat Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling has clarified that flour mixes containing additives attract an 18% Goods and Services Tax as they fall under a class of food preparations for which a lower tax rate is not specified in the law. The ruling came in response to an application filed by a Gandhinagar-based company selling flour mixes for dishes like idli, dhokla, and dahi vada. The authority, in an order on 29 May, said flour mixtures with spices and other ingredients in proportions not specified in the law cannot claim the lower tax rate. The appellate authority, relying on the revenue department’s order, stated that only flour “with very small quantities of specified substances” qualifies for the lower tax rate.
