The Gujarat High Court has quashed a show cause notice sent by the GST authorities to a company asking it to pay 18 per cent tax on unfried or uncooked extruded snack pellets
The clarification came amid protests and widespread criticism by Opposition Members of Parliament over foisting GST on daily-use essentials and subsequent price rise
Products whose GST rate was rationalised to 18% included chewing gum, chocolates, preparation for facial make-up, shaving and after-shave items, shampoos, etc
The two firms said they had successfully managed the transition to GST and that local operations had improved in the Sept quarter
