https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=161935 Food colour and essences are not covered by a taxing notification for foodstuffs or products sold in sealed or tinned containers. "Foodstuff" must be understood in its ordinary and popular sense as an article eaten for nutritive value or forming a principal component of a meal. Colour and essences merely enhance the appearance, smell or taste of food; they are not edible in themselves and lack nutritive value. They therefore differ from instant food preparations, such as gulab jamun mix, which have edible character and nutritional content. The notification does not tax such additives as foodstuffs or products. en-us Thu, 21 Aug 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:27:05 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=161935 Food colour and essences are not covered by a taxing notification for foodstuffs or products sold in sealed or tinned containers.
