Chandigarh, June 12
State Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala today said the Centre had reduced the existing 28 per cent tax on ambulances to 12 per cent.
Dushyant, who also holds the portfolio of the Excise and Taxation Department, gave this information through videoconferencing after attending the GST Council meeting held under the chairmanship of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
The Deputy Chief Minister said the GST Council had accepted all suggestions of a six-member committee of the Group of Ministers, which was constituted to determine the GST on Covid-related items. Haryana had made two suggestions — extending the time limit for the exemption of GST rates on Covid goods and reducing the existing tax on electric crematoriums. — TNS
