The recent GST reforms aim to stimulate consumption, enhance industry competitiveness, and ease the financial burden on middle-class consumers. As part of these changes, the number of GST tax slabs has been streamlined from four to just two, simplifying the overall tax structure. Going forward, most goods and services will fall under either the 5 or 18 percent GST bracket. However, a higher GST rate of 40 percent will continue to apply to so-called "sin goods," which include luxury SUVs and tobacco-related products.

Why GST Reforms Rolled Out  

The 2025 GST reforms were introduced to streamline the tax system by aligning input and output tax rates and reducing the accumulation of input tax credit. A key objective was to simplify the GST rate structure and compliance process by reducing the number of tax slabs. The lowering of GST on aspirational goods was also aimed at enhancing affordability for consumers.

Tax rates will be reduced on approximately 200 items. Notably, around 90 percent of goods previously taxed at 28 percent will now fall under the 18 percent slab, while nearly 99 percent of items from the 12 percent slab will be shifted to the 5 percent category.
