Proposal to impose 35% GST on ’sin goods’ not a good idea: SJM

Live Mint  

New Delhi, Dec 18 Swadeshi Jagran Manch has dubbed the proposal to introduce 35 per cent GST on "sin goods" like aerated beverages and tobacco products as a "bad idea" as it would lead to smuggling and loss of revenue for the country. Earlier this month, the Group of Ministers recommended a special rate of 35 per cent on sin goods like aerated beverages, cigarettes, tobacco and related products. The All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation and the Indian Sellers Collective also opposed the proposal, saying it would harm small retailers, increase the burden on consumers, and promote black market activities. Echoing similar views Indian Sellers Collective said creation of a new slab of 35 per cent would be counterproductive.
