18% GST Trends, Netizens Question ‘What Will Be The GST Rate For This Flavor?’

In the GST Council meeting held on Saturday, December 21, led by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, it was decided that a tax rate of 18% will be applied to the margin value on the sale of used electric vehicles (EVs) and old vehicles by businesses. However, sales of used cars between individuals will be exempt from GST.

The Council also provided clarification regarding the taxation of popcorn. It confirmed that caramel popcorn will continue to be taxed at 18%. Additionally, pre-packaged and flavored popcorn will attract a 12% GST rate, while unpackaged and unlabeled popcorn will be taxed at 5%.
