Equal tax treatment of bulk tea and packaged tea does not negate the refund where the packaging inputs themselves create the rate inversion. A departmental circular addressing reductions in tax rates on the same goods over time does not apply to this circumstance and cannot restrict a refund otherwise available under the Act.
