Prices of essential commodities will not increase post GST: Nirmala Sitharaman

27 Jun 2017 Evaluate

Allaying fears over whether the prices of essential commodities would go up post implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that no fresh rates would be imposed on those goods which already come under tax ambit. She added that there is no separate explanation to public and another for traders, it is all the same and the price of essential commodities will not increase post GST.

The Commerce and Industries Minister said that rate fixed in GST is Revenue Neutral Rate which means suppose if there is a tax for a particular product, it comes under GST. If a new tax rate is fixed, it is comparatively less to the existing structure. So, the price of essential commodities will not rise. She also clarified that no additional taxes are imposed on products which already come under the tax structure. On the conferences conducted for the benefit of traders’ community, she said, in every conference an official equal to the rank of Central Excise Commissioner takes part to address the queries raised by the traders.

Noting that the traders can also get trained at various offices of Chartered Accountants, Sitharaman said the Government also conducts conferences on GST in partnership with various Chambers of Commerce. She further said that those officials who had undergone training on GST are also appointed in every district (of the State) for the benefit of traders. Besides, the government has said that the GST could add two percentage points to economic growth. It is termed as India’s most ambitious tax reform, creates a single economic zone with common indirect taxes.
