New Delhi, Dec 6: India's Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council is considering a proposal to increase tax rates on certain 'sin goods,' including aerated drinks and tobacco products. A group of ministers has recommended raising the GST rate from 28% to 35% for these items. The final decision will be made during the GST Council meeting on December 21.

The main goal of this proposed tax hike is to increase government revenue and reduce the consumption of products that are harmful to health. If approved, consumers could see higher prices for aerated drinks and tobacco products.

This move is expected to impact the beverage and tobacco industries, which are closely watching the situation. A tax increase could affect sales and profitability for companies in these sectors.

For consumers, this means they may have to pay more for these products, while for the industry, it could lead to lower demand and changes in business strategies. The final decision by the GST Council will be crucial in determining the future price and availability of these products in the market.

The proposed tax increase reflects the government's efforts to raise revenue while also promoting healthier choices among consumers. The impact of this decision will be felt across various sectors, including the beverage, tobacco, and retail industries.
