GST council has revised GST rate more than 66 items in its meeting held on 11th June 2017. In its meeting council has revised the rate downward on most of the items. Rates on most goods has come down from higher rate to comparatively lower rate. In some cases rate has come down from 28% to 0% also.
Suresh Nandlal Rohira, Partner, Grant Thornton India LLP on the outcome of 16th GST council meeting said that “With the 16th GST Council meeting, one sees a positive change which is welcoming as there is a revision in the rate downwards for almost 66 items, keeping in mind the representation and also utilization in credits for those items. Further, there is an increase in threshold for Composition Scheme from 50 Lacs to 75 lacs, which is a good move. Although, the representations on rates have been reciprocated, the Council needs to now accept the additional time needed by the Industry to prepare, as many are yet to gear-up from a Systems standpoint i.e. Invoicing, maintaining GST registers and filing returns on day 40th from July 1st. Consequently, the Council should think of innovative means to comfort the industry by voicing that revision would be allowed for a quarter without any penal consequences, and it would put all the concerns to rest.”+
