GST

Centre Govt may propose 26% peak rate for GST

The Centre Government is likely to propose a four-tier tax structure under the GST, with a peak slab of 26 per cent. Almost 20-25 per cent of all taxable goods, including those consumed by the middle class, could come under the peak rate.The idea is to arrive at a common ground with the states that are concerned over revenue loss.A discussion paper to be presented at the three-day GST Council meet that begins on Tuesday is believed to have proposed a standard rate of 18 per cent.
