HSN code and taxability, Goods and Services Tax - GST

HSN code and taxability


  • Contents

An IT company wants to sell its used laptops. However the laptops are no longer in a usable condition and it can only sold as scrap i.e E waste. In this case, should we use HSN 8417 (i.e HSN code for laptops) or HSN 8548 (i.e HSN of E waste). Further, the sale of E waste amounts to sale of used assets and warrants ITC reversal as per section 18 (6)?.

Thanks in advance

Pay GST @ 18 % under Chapter 85 as E-waste. See serial no. 371 A of Notification No. 6/22-CT (R) dated 13.7.22 amending original notification No. 1/17-CT (R) dated 29.06.17. Read serial no. 371 A word for word.

Section 18(6) of CGST Act should be read with Rule 40 (2) of CGST Rules in order to fulfil the condition of, "whichever is higher".

Tax on higher side has to be taken care of.
