GST Council may replace 12% and 18% slabs with 14-15% tax rate

Modi said there could be a shortfall in revenue in the next 3-4 months due to rate cuts on various items but added that the revenue would increase in the long term due to more compliance. The GST Council in its last meeting had reduced rates of 88 items.
Last month, GST Council had announced the biggest rate cut since last November and slashed the levy on several white goods and commonly used kitchen appliances like mixer-grinders and juicers by 10 per cent - from the highest tax bracket of 28 per cent to 18 per cent.
If the GST Council decides to merge 12 per cent and 18 per cent tax slabs into a single slab of 14-15 per cent, the number of GST rates would be reduced to four.
Modi further added if petroleum products are brought under GST, there is no guarantee there will be an impact since they are linked to international prices and no state will like to lose revenue as they can levy cess on them. #casansaar (Source - Business Today)
