GST Council Reviews Rate Changes, Relief Measures, and State Compensation Issues
The 47th GST Council meeting focused on potential rate changes for select items, relief measures for small businesses and the transport sector, and ongoing discussions about state compensation ending in June 2022. Key changes include reduced GST rates on prostheses, ropeway travel, and sewage treated water, alongside procedural updates like mandatory Aadhaar authentication for refunds. While GST has streamlined tax compliance and expanded the taxpayer base, challenges remain in easing compliance burdens, addressing inverted duty structures, and ensuring states' revenue growth post-compensation period.
