28% slab has to go to simplify GST: Chief Economic Advisor
Outgoing Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian has said the highest 28% tax slab must be removed to simplify the GST. "The cesses may have to remain, but there should be just one rate on cesses," he added. He further claimed they had called for 18% and 40% rates and said the cesses are a way to implement the 40% rate.
