GST 2.0 Reforms

The new GST reforms aim to simplify India's tax structure, benefiting 90% of households by lowering tax rates on essential goods.

Why This Matters

Tax reforms are important for everyday financial planning for citizens, sparking discussions around economic impact and consumer rights.

Public Sentiment Summary

Public opinion on the GST 2.0 reforms reflects significant skepticism and frustration. While there are indications that the reforms could simplify tax processes or reduce tax evasion, many commenters believe the changes serve corporate interests more than those of ordinary consumers. There's a clear mistrust in the government's motivations, with accusations that these reforms are politically motivated rather than truly beneficial for the middle class.

Highlighted Comments

First they looted us with high and complex GST for 8 years. Now they are reducing it and taking credit. They should also take credit for the mess they introduced.

Price cuts rarely reach the common people, but hikes hit them instantly. If the same happens now, this Diwali gift will benefit only a select few.

That's the reality, this GST reduction was not for consumers it was for industrial players and businesses. The end consumers will never get the reduction.

These are not reforms, this is a desperate attempt to hold on to power when they know everything is going against them.
