GST Council to take up 5% sugar cess to compensate cane farmers

Meanwhile, many countries are opposed to the idea of a separate GST service because they run counter to the principle of a common indirect tax On Friday, the GST will consider a proposal to impose a sugar tax to compensate sugarcane farmers.

The proposal by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and General Distribution of the five sugar quota will be outside the scope of CES compensation under GST, and therefore will need a separate law.

Sugis sugar proposal will be taken by the board.Cis different from CES will be compensated and will need to work independently in parliament or by text in the Finance Act.

The government may choose to proceed with this by law.

Currently, the compensation will be within the scope of the GST Act, and a handful of luxury goods and a 28% GST slap will be required to compensate states for the shortfall in revenue due to GST implementation for the first five years.

Meanwhile, many countries are opposed to the idea of a separate GST service because they run counter to the principle of a common indirect tax. States that do not produce sugar against the proposal, arguing that they will not get part of the fuss collected from the taxpayer. Sugar-producing countries such as Karnataka also strongly oppose this move.

It is expected that there will be a stormy debate on this subject with most countries against the proposal.” It is odd and the whole goal of the GST.

A government states have increased the proposed GST rate on sugar from 5 percent as an alternative to the imposition Currently on CES.

On Wednesday, the Council of Ministers approved the Financial Assistance Federation at a rate of 5.50 rupees per quintal of crushed sugar cane in the 2017-18 season for sugar factories to clear the cane farmers’ dues. The payment of 15.40 billion rupees directly to farmers will help dispose of less than a tenth of the volume of its sugar factories.
