In the ongoing meeting of the GST Council, the opposition-ruled states are adamant about changing the revenue sharing rule in GST or increasing the compensation for five years. GST was introduced on July 1, 2017. Under this, there was a provision to give compensation for 5 years in place of losses to the states. This provision expires this month. States have adopted a strict approach to compensation. Apart from this, the rate of GST in cases like a casino, online games, and horse riding will be decided today.
Chhattisgarh Finance Minister Tribhuvan Dev Singh said that the existing rule of sharing the income from GST equally between the Center and the states should be changed. States should be given 70-80% of this. In a letter to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, he said, we are proposing to continue with the 14 percent protected revenue provision. If this is not continued, the rule of 50-50% for CGST and SGST should be changed to SGST 80-70 and CGST 20-30%.

Dinner also discussed
Haryana Government organized a dinner for the members of the GST Council at Pinjore Garden. Various demands were discussed in it.
GST is divided equally
At present, the revenue from GST is shared equally between the Center and the states. The states cited the recent Supreme Court judgment to say that the decisions made by the council are not binding and the states need not stick to them.
The Court's decision has been seen by some states as having the power to determine taxation. All the states made the same demand that the GST compensation should be extended by five years.

Unpackaged and unlabeled substances are out of GST.
