GST on fruit, nuts and peels of citrus fruits and melons
According to section 2 of chapter 8 of the GST Act, the GST tax rate and HSN code for fruit, nuts and peels of citrus fruits and melons are defined as per section-2 of chapter 8 of GST Act. Trader who includes edible fruit and nuts, citrus peels, and melons in their products will be required to list the HSN CODE for dry fruit and nuts, citrus peels, and melons on their invoices and GST returns in order to identify the nuts, citrus peels, and melons as part of the products they sell.
There is no doubt that by the beginning of July 2017, the historic Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime will have already taken effect in the country. According to our Prime Minister, the GST is indeed a major milestone in the development of the country, as well as an important event for the future of the country in terms of its development.
