The Rate of GST On Recovered waste or scrap of paper or paperboard has been reduced from 12% to 5%, w.e.f. 13.10.17.Oct 15, 2017

Machinery or Equipment Attracting 12% GST. The following goods under chapter 84 of the HSN code attract 12% GST.

Also get these rate cross checked from your consultant/department.

I support the views of both experts. Recently there has been reduction of rate of GST on so many items. So it is necessary to confirm latest rate of tax on all items of scrap. M/s.YAGAY And SUN have made it easy for you.

registration is required if the turnover exceeds the threshold limit. paper scrap attracts 5%.

When all experts contribute on any issue, the querist gets the best advice. Contentious issue becomes clearer.
