The Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has launched a mobile app “GST Rates Finder” on 8 July 2017 which is available on android platform and will soon be available on iOS platform as well.
This Mobile app helps users to find rates of Goods and Services Tax (GST) for various goods and services.
It can be downloaded on any smart phone and can work in offline mode.
The Central Board of Excise and Customs has also provided a GST rate finder on its portal cbec-gst.gov.in to help the taxpayers know the applicable GST rate on their supplies of goods and services.
A taxpayer can search for applicable CGST, SGST, UTGST rate and Compensation Cess on a supply.
The search can be made based on description of goods or services or HSN Chapter or section or heading number.
These initiatives are aimed to serve as a ready reckoner on GST rates.
This will empower not only the taxpayers, but every citizen of the nation, to ascertain the correct GST rate on goods and services. Fii-news.com
