Common Mistake: Charging 5% or 18% on Imitation Jewellery
Many new sellers incorrectly apply 5% (thinking it is a low-cost accessory) or 18% (standard goods rate) to imitation jewellery. Chapter 71 of the GST Tariff prescribes a concessional 3% flat rate. Charging 18% makes your prices uncompetitive, while paying wrong rates leads to reconciliation mismatches.
