GST slash on certain vehicles will impact SUV lovers but middle class & those relying on public transport will benefit. Find out who will gain and who will lose from these changes
The GST Council's decision to slash GST rates on certain vehicles will impact different sections of society in different ways. The decision to reduce the GST rate on small cars and motorcycles from 28% to 18% is likely to benefit the working class, students, and urban commuters who rely on public transport. While more affluent citizens who drive SUVs and larger vehicles will have to pay more, those who prefer smaller, more affordable vehicles will see significant savings.
This move could prompt changes in transportation habits and prioritization among citizens. Notably, the reduction in GST on electric vehicles is aligned with governmental ambitions for more eco-friendly transportation.
While some citizens may mourn the loss of tax incentives for larger vehicles, these changes are a part of a larger effort to ensure that GST is sensitive to the needs of all citizens, from those purchasing everyday necessities to those aiming to drive larger, more luxurious vehicles.
