GST

Taxation Gone Awry

During its 55th meeting, the GST Council clarified that tax treatment for popcorn would depend on its flavour and the way it was sold; while popcorn sold loose will be taxed at 5 per cent, GST on popcorn will incre a se to 12 per cent if it was sold in packets under a brand name, while caramelised popcorn would be taxed at 18 per cent.

The debate surrounding the taxation of health and life insurance premiums in India has taken a significant turn with the recent consensus among members of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council to consider reducing the current 18 per cent levy.
