GST panel may cut slabs to 3 by dropping 12% rate
Mint Mumbai
|June 05, 2025
The GST Council could discuss, at its next meeting, a proposal to rationalize Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates by reducing the number of slabs from the current four to three by removing the 12% tax slab, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be named.
There is "near consensus" among officials and experts advising the Group of Ministers (GoM) discussing rate rationalization that the 12% slab has little continued relevance, and essential items used by common people could be placed in the preceding 5% slab while the rest could be shifted to the next 18% slab, the people added.
