gst on tobacco So the new proposal says: Cigars & Cigarettes → 28% ➝ 40% → 28% ➝ 40% Bidis → 28% ➝ 18% Looks like the government just launched a new campaign — “Vocal for Local… Bidi Edition!”… | Akash Shinde Glad to see this proposal
Glad to see this proposal on tobacco taxation in GST 2.0. A 40% peak GST rate along with an additional excise duty is exactly what we've been advocating for some time, and GST on cigarettes and tobacco has been increased from 28% to 40%, but on bidis, paradoxically, reduced from 28% to 18%. Why? Is it because Adani Ambani smoke bidis? An additional excise duty on cigarettes and tobacco products, and a health cess on pan masala, will come into effect from 1 February. This additional duty is imposed over and above the 40% GST from Feb 1: How Much a Cigarette Costs
