LAST GST CHANGES

Last week, the government confused two GST signs that carried the goods to 5% and 18% tax signs and some to a 40% special ‘sin’ tax. Packaged food and personal care staples are expected to become cheaper because GST rates decrease from 12% or 18% to 5%. The senior industrial leaders, including the President of the Reliance Industries LTD and Director Director Mukesh D. Ambani, greeted the movement as “great strengthening to consumption -based growth”.

The largest consumer work of Godrej Enterprises is devices, including refrigerators and air conditioners that see that tax rates fall from 28% to 18%. The company also sells furniture under the interio by Godrej Brand and security solutions.
