Yes, Mr. Pande, you should take this up on a priority. Why should coop housing societies pay tax? They are not doing any business at all. This is a draconian tax and how much will the government benefit? more

GST Council has not exempted Cooperative Housing Societies from 18% GST. This is injustice to members of Cooperative Hsg. Society who contribute towards common expenses from their tax paid income. There was no Service Tax so why 18% GST? Another interesting point to note is that 18% GST is charged to members whose monthly contribution is Rs.7501 and more. Whereas members of Cooperative Housing Society whose annual turn over is up to Rs. 20 Lakhs do not have to pay 18% GST even if their monthly contribution is Rs.7501 or more. What this means is that rich people staying in Bungalows or apartments do not pay 18% GST even if their monthly expenses on maintenance & services is Rs.7501 and above. Only middle class citizens are subjected to 18% GST. All requests to PM & FM to exempt Cooperative Housing Societies from this unjustified and draconian 18% GST have fallen on deaf ears. more

Singapore manages with a single 7% GST and even offers nil tax on airports and to tourists. One wonders why India must have differential rates and tinker with them so frequently. 'One nation, One tax' has been forgotten down the line and compliance is suffering! On Sat, 21 Sep 2019, 07:42 Anil Mehta, wrote: > more

This kind of tinkering here and there would amount to nothing as the benefit of such changes are NOT passed on to the consumers. Hotelswill increase the tariff to pocket the GST benefit and so on. The critical issue of bringing all products under GST ,especially fuels like petrol and Diesel and petrolium products has bannished from the radar for good. more
