GST – Rates
The four GST slabs have been set at 5%, 12%, 18% and 28% for different items or
services.
To keep inflation in check, essential items including food, which at present
constitute roughly half of the consumer inflation basket, will be taxed at a zero
rate. The lowest rate of 5 per cent would apply to common use items.
The peak rate of 28% will apply to luxury goods. Luxury cars, tobacco products
and aerated drinks will attract an additional cess on top of the highest tax rate.
The additional cess and a clean energy cess will create a revenue pool which will
be used to compensate states for any loss of revenue during the first five years of
the implementation of GST, Mr Jaitley said.
Service Tax will go up from 15% to 18 %, said Revenue Secretary Hasmukh
Adhia.

GST – Issues
Old Wine in New Bottle
 GST Staff
 State and Central sharing.
29 states and the two Union Territories with legislatures. Given the sharp
differences in the structure of the economy and sales tax revenue (as a ratio
of gross state domestic product, or GSDP) across states, the interests of the
states do not always coincide and considerable effort is needed to persuade
them to adopt a uniform or even a broadly harmonised structure and
administrative system for the tax.
 Transitional period, accounting/ inventory/ set-off
