Colgate Palmolive Shares Rise After GST Council Approves Input Tax Credit Changes
Shares of Colgate Palmolive India rose sharply, gaining between 6.35% and 8% following the GST Council's approval of changes to input tax credit (ITC) rules. These changes allow businesses to claim ITC on employee health and life insurance, telecommunication towers, pipelines outside factories, free samples, and stock written off after expiry when destruction is mandated. The reforms aim to ease working capital pressures and reduce tax cascading. Colgate's stock also benefits from last year's GST rate cut on oral care products from 18% to 5%.
