Tamil Nadu AAR ruled that 18 percent GST applicable on Electronic Toys as against 12 percent on other Toys


Quick Summary
The Tamil Nadu Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has determined that toys which incorporate electronic components, such as lights and music, are classified as 'Electronic Toys' and are subject to an 18% GST rate. This ruling applies even if the primary function of the toy involves physical action, like scooters or ride-on vehicles. The AAR found that the combination of physical activity and electronic features means these items fall under the higher GST bracket.
