Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs Chairman Vivek Chaturvedi spoke to Kuldeep Singh on the proposals related to indirect taxes in Budget FY27.

Excerpts.The share of Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the overall Budget receipts seems to drop (from 18% in FY26 to 15% for FY27)...

The GST rate rationalisation is a factor behind slow growth. We have seena growth of 3.5% in H1 FY27 over the H1 FY26 in GST. The projected growth for the second half is around 9.4% over the H2 FY26. There is tax buoyancy of 0.94X on 10% nominal GDP. The January collection data released on February 1 show positive trends in terms of absolute growth and taxable supplies, providing optimism despite rationalisation effects.

What is the rationale behind Budget proposals regarding basic customs duty?
