- The Centre expects little scope for further GST rate discussions, as most current proposals seek tax concessions rather than rate changes; interpretative issues are also likely to be limited.
- GST rate changes are to be taken up only once a year, effective from the start of the financial year on April 1.
- GST on petroleum products is not seen as an immediate priority; it may be considered only after the GST system becomes more robust and geopolitical pressures ease, given states’ reliance on fuel taxes.
- The Centre and states are focusing on widening the GST base and increasing registrations beyond the current 1.6 crore filers.
- A new GST officers’ panel is being restructured to replace the fitment and law committees, with fixed and rotational state representation based on GST footprint, revenues, and taxpayer numbers.
