The major highlights of the meeting are:

  • The tax rate on fertilizers have been reduced to 5% from previously decided 12%
  • Tax rate on Exclusive parts of tractors has been cut to 18% from 28%

“In GST Council meeting, some additional sets of rules were approved. Other than this, many states had raised concern that the 12% GST rate proposed on fertilizers might increase the tax burden on farmers. Keeping in mind the tax rates on fertilizers prevailing in different states, the Council decided to lower it to 5%,” said the finance minister, who chairs the GST Council.
