GST revised rates on textile expected to be effective from January, 2022

23 December 2021, Mumbai:

Despite concerns expressed by the industry, the government is unlikely to defer the implementation of higher Goods and Services Tax (GST) on certain textile products, as the decision was taken by the GST Council.

The new GST rates will kick in from January 1.

The sector had opposed the increase citing higher compliance costs, especially for the unorganised sector and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), besides making clothing more expensive for the poor.

The finance ministry is expected to take up with the GST Council the concerns raised by the industry over the latter's decision to increase the rates on several textile products to 12%.
