GST rates on mobiles and fabric are likely to increase next week

New delhi date. December 12, 2019, Thursday

Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates are likely to rise on mobile phones and fabric. The next meeting of the GST Council is expected to take a decision on raising rates through taxation and raising rates as a way to improve the inverted duty structure. In the current financial year, revenue through GST is lower than expected.

As GST rates are higher on raw materials than in final products, the status of huge input tax credits arises. Fabrics, bags, tractors, etc. also come in inverted texture structures.

At present, the rate of GST on mobile phones is 5%, while on the parts and batteries of phones, the rate is 6%, due to which the inverted texture structure has emerged. In the case of phones, the same manufacturer filed a refund of Rs 1 crore last year.

In case of high tax structure on input and low rate on finished product, a taxpayer can claim for input tax credit. A similar situation is seen in the fabric wherein the rate of GST on the fabric is 5% while on different types of yarns it is 5%. Initially, the government did not allow fabric manufacturers to claim refunds for input tax credits, but was later allowed, sources in the finance ministry said.

If the finance ministers of each of the states agree, the GST rate on the fabric is currently being increased to five percent from 5 percent so that the burden of refunds on the government is reduced. General Chat Chat Lounge

It is worth mentioning here that in the current financial year, there is a significant reduction in revenue through GST of the government. With three months left before the end of the financial year, the fiscal deficit is likely to rise if the revenue target is not met through GST. The economic slowdown has made it difficult to reach the target.

Apart from GST, the current fiscal, corporate tax collection in the country from April to November is down one per cent compared to the same period last year. However, the impact of the corporate tax rate cut in September is yet to be seen. Due to these deductions, the levy may still be lower.
