Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will attend a crucial meeting of a state ministerial panel on August 20 to put forth the Centre's proposal for sweeping GST reforms that will slash tax rates and lead to reduction in prices of common use items.
The two-day meeting of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on GST rate rationalisation is scheduled on August 20-21 in New Delhi, sources said.
The meet will deliberate on the Centre's proposal for GST reforms of reducing the number of tax slabs in Goods and Services Tax (GST) to two—5 and 18%, and a 40% special rate on a select few items.
