The Daily Guardian
|September 05, 2025
Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Thursday welcomed the Centre's decision to reduce Goods and Services Tax (GST) but said there is still a need to bring down taxes on many more essential items.
Speaking to the reporters, G Parameshwara said, "For essential commodities that reach common people, GST should be less or not at all. But even on such items, they had imposed high GST earlier. Now they have reduced it, which shows they have realised the difficulties of common people."
Parameshwara said the central government has finally understood the concerns raised by his party, which had long been demanding a cut in Goods and Services Tax (GST), introduced on July 1, 2017.
