In the realm of GST (Goods and Services Tax), different products are categorized under specific chapters based on their nature and composition. Each chapter attracts a different rate of tax. When it comes to the Delicious Chocolate Peanut Bar with the addition of cocoa powder, the Karnataka bench of the GSTAAR (Goods and Services Tax Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling) has clarified that the product falls under Chapter 18 of the GST classification.
Chapter 18 covers Cocoa and Cocoa Preparations. It includes products like chocolates and other food preparations that contain cocoa as one of the ingredients. Since the chocolate-peanut bar contains cocoa powder, it is considered a cocoa preparation and falls under this chapter for taxation purposes.
The tax rate for products falling under Chapter 18 is higher, set at 18%. This higher tax rate is applicable to all products within this category, including the chocolate-peanut bar due to the presence of cocoa powder.
