Proposed Reforms by the Modi Government:

  • The government is considering simplifying GST rates and reducing the number of tax slabs.

  • There is a possibility of abolishing the current 12% and 28% rates and replacing them with two main rates of 5% and 18%.

  • The goal is to directly benefit consumers by lowering the tax rates on essential daily-use items.

This announcement is expected to pave the way for the next phase of GST reforms, which are also anticipated to be a great help to small businesses and MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises).
