Sodium Bicarbonate (Soda Ash) and Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salt) are not enumerated in Entry-9 of the VI Schedule, which covers dyes and chemicals. A Government Order directs a levy of 8% sales tax on all chemicals not covered under Entry-9. In a similar case, the erstwhile High Court of Judicature, Andhra Pradesh held that any chemical not enumerated in Entry-9 would fall under the Government Order and be taxable at 8% only, irrespective of its usage as a raw material. Consequently, the goods in question are to be taxed at 8% as they are chemicals not covered under Entry-9. The Revision Orders of the Joint Commissioner (CT) (Legal), Office of the Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, A.P, Hyderabad are set aside, and the petition is allowed.
