GST 2.0: What has changed?

The New Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure, which was dubbed 'GST 2.0', was announced last month and now it has come into force nationwide. The update system simplifies automobile taxation by going into a two-slab structure of 5 percent and 18 percent, with 40 percent slabs reserved for large cars, SUVs and premium motorcycles above 350 cc. Importantly, additional compensation cess has been removed with cess that was previously applied to the top of GST.

This improvement means tax is levied at 18 percent on small cars (petrol up to 1,200 cc and diesel up to 1,500 cc), which is a significant reduction from the first 28 percent. Larger vehicles, including SUV above four meters with large engines, have been slot in 40 percent slab, despite high rates on paper, the last 45–48 percent is cheaper than tax when cess was included.
