04 November 2010 Thanks for the reply Mr. Shailesh.
Can you kindly specify the rate of tax & Clause No under which it is mentioned.

02 August 2025 Regarding VAT exemption for **Prawns Feed Manufacturing Company in Gujarat**:

* As per the **Gujarat VAT Act** and notifications around 2010, **prawn feed is not exempted from VAT**.
* Prawn feeds are treated similar to fish feeds, and both attract VAT as per the applicable rate on animal feed products.
* The applicable **rate of VAT** on such feed items typically falls under the **rate slab for animal or aqua feed**, often around **12.5% or 5% depending on the exact classification**—but not exempt.

### References:

* The **Schedule of Goods and Tax Rates** in Gujarat VAT Act lists animal feeds and similar products.
* There is **no separate exemption clause specifically for prawn feed** distinct from fish feed.

### Suggested Steps:

* To get exact Clause No. and Notification No., refer to the latest **Gujarat VAT Act Schedule** or check with the Gujarat Commercial Tax Department website or official gazette.
* Alternatively, contact a local tax consultant or the state VAT office for precise references.
