GST 2.0: Less Complex and Fewer Disputes
At the heart of GST 2.0 is a sweeping rationalization of tax slabs. The Council has streamlined the structure into two rates—5% and 18%, along with a 40% rate for ‘sin’ and luxury goods. Compensation cess has been done away with, except on a few tobacco and related items, as a temporary measure. This will have profound implications—less complexity, fewer disputes, and more certainty for businesses and consumers.
