https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=163688 A coir-based product marketed as "Neopeat" was held not to qualify as organic manure under entry 17 of the Kerala General Sales Tax Act, because it was a manufactured material made from coir pith or coir fibre dust and not manure naturally produced or derived from plants or animals. However, it was found to fall within the broader exemption for coir products under entry 24, which covers green or soaked husk, coconut fibre, coir and coir products except rubberised coir fibre foam. The exemption claim was therefore upheld, and the product was treated as not liable to sales tax. en-us Mon, 07 Aug 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 15:51:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=163688 A coir-based product marketed as "Neopeat" was held not to qualify as organic manure under entry 17 of the Kerala General Sales Tax Act, because it was a manufactured material made from coir pith or coir fibre dust and not manure naturally produced or derived from plants or animals.
