With 90% tax, getting fuel under GST impractical: NITI Aayog
NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar has said petrol and diesel can't be brought under GST as the "total state and central taxes on them are around 90%". "I can't see how any state will take a cut so huge as the highest GST rate is 28%," Kumar said. He added that a new slab will have to be created.
