New GST Rates For Cars

The Indian government, in its GST Council meeting on September 4, 2025, decided to revise the existing GST rates. The automobile industry of the country has been demanding the GST reforms for a long time. Earlier, small cars were taxed at 28 percent GST and 1 percent cess, while the SUVs and luxury cars were taxed at 28 percent GST and a cess ranging between 17 percent to 22 percent. The SUV or luxury car owners ended up paying a total tax of up to 50 percent, while the small cars had a total tax of 29 percent. The Indian government has now slashed the GST from 28 percent to 18 percent for small cars, while the SUVs will be taxed at 40 percent GST.
