The Karnataka High Court has held that solar inverters will qualify for a concessional 5% Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate as they are parts of solar power-generating systems. It quashed the order of the Karnataka Department of Commercial Tax, classifying them as general electrical devices taxable at 18%.
