Will The GST Overhaul And Its Tax Cuts Be A Game Changer?

by KredX Editorial Team September 10, 2018 0 Comment

The union government which is under tremendous pressure from the recent failures of “demonetisation” and GST, has slashed the prescribed rates on certain consumer items and services. The move which comes in the wake of Gujarat elections is supposed to rejuvenate the failing industries and encourage consumer confidence. The 23rd GST Council meeting, held in Guwahati offered tax cuts for over 200 items and is expected to cost the government over 20,000 crores. Here is a comprehensive look at the recently announced revamp applicable to the GST.

18% Tax Rate

  • Consumer durables such as hard rubber, PVC conveyer belt, leather, paints, varnishes, aluminous cement, slag cement, etc.
  • Other items such as personal deodorants, trunks, suitcases, toilet cases, handbags, camera cases, gun holsters, etc.

28% Tax Rate

  • Other items such as bidis, pan masala, sunscreen, etc.

Services:

The new GST rates have been introduced as a major step towards consumer appeasement. The problems, however, are many. The 5 percent tax slab given to restaurants will be beneficial for the customers but will result in the former’s operating costs rising to 18 percent. This disparity in offering equal benefits to the consumer as well as the manufacturer has been one of the major drawbacks of the GST. The public perception of these steps will be interesting to see as the elections loom closer.
