means it should be normally returnable as per agreement or understanding
between buyer and seller. Mere physical capability of returning is not enough.
Manufacturer often takes security deposit from buyer to ensure return of the
container. However, these are not sold to the buyer. deposit is forfeited if the
container is not returned. Cost of such durable and returnable packing will not
be included. Supply of such container may be in 'relation' to supply. However,
the relation is only Remote and indirect. There is no supply of container. It is
transaction of bailment.' There is no direct 'connection' between supply of
durable and returnable containers and the sale. So, in some cases, goods are
packed in returnable packing, like gas cylinder, drums etc. In such case, tax is
payable only on consideration received for the supply.
Thus, it is not required to add amortised cost of durable and returnable packing.
Taxes other than GST: - Any taxes duties, fees and charges levied under any
statute other than the GST Act.
charges are includible in value, if charged separately.

advance receipts of payment.
Further as per the rule if the rate of tax is not determinable, the tax shall be paid
@18%. If the nature of supply is not determinable at the time of receipt of

GST rates refer to the percentage rates of tax imposed on the sale of goods or
services under the CGST, SGST and IGST Acts. A business registered under
the GST law must issue invoices with GST amounts charged on the value of
supply. The GST rates in CGST and SGST (For intra-state transactions) are
approximately the same. Whereas, the GST rate in the case of IGST (For inter-
state transactions) is approximately the sum total of CGST and SGST rate.
The primary GST slabs for any regular taxpayers are presently pegged at 0%
(nil-rated), 5%, 12%, 18% & 28%. There are a few lesser-used GST rates
such as 3% and 0.25%.
Also, the composition taxable persons must pay GST at lower or nominal rates
such as 1.5% or 5% or 6% on their turnover. There is a concept of TDS and
TCS under GST as well, whose rates are 2% and 1% respectively.
These are the total GST rate of IGST for interstate supply or the addition of
both CGST and SGST for intrastate supply. The GST rates shall be multiplied
23
by the assessable value of the supply to arrive at the GST amounts in a tax
invoice.
Further, the GST law levies cess in addition to the above GST rates on the sale
of some items such as cigarettes, tobacco, aerated water, petrol, and motor
vehicles, rates widely varying from 1% to 204%.
The GST rate structure for some of the commonly-used consumable products is
given in the below table. For more items, type in the item you wish to know the
