Appellant's ring-back tone service held OIDAR, taxable domestically for 01.07.2012-31.07.2016; liability confirmed, penalties vacated, remanded for re...
The AAR holds that the applicant's material, being the residue ("thippi") generated in Stage-I cassava starch manufacture and sold for further processing/animal feed, is not cassava flour or cassava starch and is classifiable as a residue/waste under Chapter 23 (tariff item 2303 1000). The material is marketable but arises as a by-product/residue of a starch production process and therefore falls outside Chapter 11 classification. The applicant is not entitled to the exemption under Notification No. 02/2017-CT(Rate) in respect of tariff item 1106, and the supplies attract GST; accordingly the applicant must obtain registration and discharge applicable tax.
