The GST rates given for Fish Meats and Fillets in the above table are as per the 31st GST council meeting which was held on 22nd December 2018. Dissimilarities may be present due to the latest updates made by the government. Make sure to check the “Effective From” column.
FAQs
There is no GST on fresh or pasteurized milk, butter milk, curd, chena or paneer, and non-vegetarian items like eggs, chicken, fresh meat, and fresh or chilled fish. Fruits, vegetables, as well as unit container-packed frozen branded vegetables (uncooked or steamed) are also exempt.
Taxpayers having turnover exceeds Rs. 1.5 crore but up to 5.00 crore will be required to mention only two digits of HSN code. Taxpayers having turnover exceeds Rs 5.00 crore will be required to mention four digits of HSN code.
As per GST Law, there is no GST payable on Fresh fish. So the rate of GST payable on Fresh fish is nil rate. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be levied at multiple rates ranging from 0 percent to 28 percent
Hey @HarishMehta
From 1st April 2021, Taxpayers with an aggregate Annual Turnover of more than INR 5 Crore during the financial Year 2020-2021 have to mandatorily mention 6 digits of the HSN Code in all tax invoices.
Businesses with a turnover of up to INR 5 crore in the preceding financial year will be required to mandatorily furnish 4 digit HSN code on B2B invoices.
Hope this helps!
Hey @Dia_malhotra
Let’s take an example of Cocoa powder to calculate the GST using the HSN code.
Cocoa Powder per Kg = INR1,000.
HSN Code = 18 05 00 00
GST Rate = 18% (For Cocoa powder, not containing added sugar or sweetening matter)
Therefore, GST = INR180
Hope this helps!
Hey,
What are the consequences of not mentioning or incorrectly mentioning the HSN Code?
Hey @SonalYadav
It is very crucial to mention the correct HSN/ SAC Code on the tax invoices and Form GSTR-1, barring to do so may attract a penalty of INR 50,000 (INR 25,000 each for CGST and SGST) for non-mentioning or incorrect mention of wrong HSN/ SAC Code under Section 125 of the CGST Act.
Hope this helps!
