GST Council Meeting: Proposed Changes and Potential Impact on Costs and Prices

Analysed 8 Oct 2026·2 sources analysed·India·Business
GST Council Meeting: Proposed Changes and Potential Impact on Costs and PricesPreviousNext

Ahead of the GST Council meeting, Bipin Sapra, EY India's Indirect Tax Policy Leader, discusses proposed changes to input tax credit, refunds, exports, and e-way bills. These potential adjustments could affect business costs, working capital, and consumer prices. The explanations clarify how companies might claim more GST, the impact on international businesses, e-commerce delivery costs, and whether GST procedures will become less complex. These proposals are expected changes, not final decisions.
