Taxability of Appy Fizz to be decided by Rajasthan HC

Last updated: 03 September 2021
Quick Summary
The Rajasthan High Court is reviewing the tax classification of the beverage 'Appy Fizz'. The petitioner argues it should be taxed at 12% GST as a fruit juice-based drink, citing previous Supreme Court rulings. However, tax authorities initially classified it as a non-alcoholic beverage, liable for 18% GST. The court has issued a notice and temporarily stayed the tax notices.
