It should be noted that at the GST Council meeting held on September 3, the central government announced significant relief for the public. Many everyday items were made tax-free. Furthermore, the four GST tax slabs have been removed, leaving only two. Most items will now be taxed at 5 percent and 18 percent. Luxury items will be taxed at 40 percent.
