Mangrove cultivation different from agriculture, will attract 18% GST: AAAR
- With this, AAAR upheld the ruling of West Bengal Authority of Advance Ruling (AAR).
What was the case?
The applicant, who is engaged in developing mangrove seeds into seedlings in nurseries with an objective of environmental protection against cyclones and tidal waves, had sought a ruling from the West Bengal AAR that his activities be exempted from GST.
- The applicant stated that the Mangrove cultivation should come under 9986 heading, which covers activities that support agriculture.
- The WBAAR ruled that the product may be treated under chapter heading 9994, which imposes 18% GST.
- However, as per AAAR the activities by the applicant will be classified as ‘support services to agriculture, forestry, fishing, animal husbandry’ only if it is related to the cultivation of plants and rearing of all life forms of animals, except the rearing of horses, for food, fiber, fuel, raw material or other similar products.
Therefore his services are not related to the cultivation of plants for food, fiber, fuel, raw material or other similar products. None of the activities carried out by the appellant will be classified under the chapter heading 9986, which covers activities that support agriculture and hence liable for GST.
Note: Heading 9994 covers sewage and waste collection, treatment and disposal and other environmental protection services as well.
