Also, home builders will benefit as GST on cement has been cut to 18 per cent, from 28 per cent.<br \/>\nThe government has already directed pharmacies to revise their MRP or sell medicines at a lower rate after taking into account GST cut benefits.<br \/>\nThe biggest beneficiary of GST rate cut is buyers of automobiles wherein tax rates have been slashed to 18 per cent and 28 per cent for small and big cars, respectively.<br \/>\nSeveral car companies have already announced reduction in prices.<br \/>\nWith regard to services, GST on beauty and physical well-being services including services of health clubs, salons, barbers, fitness centres, yoga, etc has been slashed from 18 per cent with Input Tax credit (ITC), to 5 per cent without tax credit.<br \/>\nAlso, daily use products like hair oil, toilet soap bars, shampoos, toothbrush, toothpaste, too are likely to get cheaper as tax on them has been cut to 5 per cent from 12\/18 per cent currently.<br \/>\nOther daily use items like talcum powder, face powder, shaving cream, after-shave lotion too could see reduction in prices as GST has come down to 5 per cent, from 18 per cent.<br \/>\nEffective September 22, GST will be a two-tier structure wherein majority of goods and services will attract tax of 5 and 18 per cent. A 40 per cent tax will be levied on ultra luxury items while tobacco and related products will continue to be in the 28 per cent plus cess category.<br \/>\nCurrently, Goods and Services Tax (GST) is levied in 4 slabs of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent. Besides, a compensation cess is levied on luxury items and demerit or sin goods.<br \/>\nFinance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had last week said that the GST reforms will infuse Rs 2 lakh crore into the economy, leaving people with more cash in hand that otherwise would have gone as taxes.<br \/>\nAbout 99 per cent of goods under the 12 per cent GST slab currently will move to 5 per cent. The rejig will also result in 90 per cent items under 28 per cent tax slab coming down to 18 per cent bracket.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32939\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-32939\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"GST Rate Cut Kicks In From Monday, Goods And Services To Become Cheaper\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12-549x366.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12-233x155.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12-230x153.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/gst-12.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GST Rate Cut Kicks In From Monday, Goods And Services To Become Cheaper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi, Sep 21: Prices of kitchen staples to electronics, from medicines and equipment to automobiles, will get cheaper from Monday as the reduced GST rates on about 375 items come into effect.
