2 If either one of them not 1, then it is not taxable?

Answer 1

Hello Banniya,
In General - Yes. One this two (CMR & MMR) determines whether am Item is Taxable or not.
But if we get into specific country & regions requirements, there can be other factors. For example in India we need to consider the Region (State) of Dispatch & Region (State) of Receipt for determining the type of Tax (VAT or CST).
Further we many times also consider the Plant. Some plant are in Tax Free zones (SEZ, STPI, etc). Thus a though the material & customer are same, in some transactions there will be Tax while in some transaction there will be no tax.
