THE GOVT HAS WHITTLED DOWN THE GST RATE STRUCTURE FROM FOUR SLABS TO TWO MAIN RATES OF 5% AND 18%

- HT Correspondent

The rollout of the revamped Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate structure has triggered a fierce verbal duel between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Opposition, with both sides seeking credit for the rate cuts and rationalisation of tax slabs.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief JP Nadda said bringing down taxes on many goods of common use from 12%, 18%, or 28% to just 5% will lead toa significant reduction in the prices of these essentials and ease the tax burden on the common man.
