Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applicability on the sale of dressed chicken. The consensus is that GST is generally not applicable if the chicken is sold under a firm name rather than a registered brand. Even if packaging includes a trade name and weight/MRP, it's considered unbranded if the name isn't officially registered, thus avoiding GST.

27 August 2020 Hi I have a poultry farm and a shop to sell dressed chicken. I dress the chicken, cut it, make half kg lots of cut meat, breast, legs, drumsticks, wings, offal, feet, put them in polythene, and mark different prices for different parts. What would be the GST ? Regards.

28 August 2020 Hi Sir Thanks for the prompt clarification.
We have Trade Licence and Firm registration in the name of " mazaco " but this brand name is not registered anywhere. But we have printed polythene pouches with "mazaco" written over the plastic, and we pack 250 gms and 500 gms with weight and mrp written. So will this be counted as a branded sale ? And the applicable GST slabs ? Regards.
