GST Rates 2022 – A Complete List of Goods and Service Tax Rates, Slab & Revision

Every year, the Government of India introduces new amendments to the GST tax norms. These modifications hit all industries and businesses alike, forcing them to re-evaluate their position. If you, too, are a business owner, it’s best to be familiar with these changes and adapt your operations accordingly, along with your business loan EMIs, if any.

So, here are the GST rate changes you need to be wary of.

Coaching institutes will pay 18% GST on composite supply

Coaching centres will now have to mandatorily pay 18% GST on their bundled services and supplies. These centres usually charge hefty amounts from the students, but deposit GST on individual commodities, on which rates are relatively lower, leading to subdued payments.

E-commerce operators will have to pay GST under Section 9(5)

Another GST rate 2022 change that you should be wary of is that e-Commerce operators are now liable to pay their share of GST under Section 9(5) for the carrier services, cab services, etc., provided for the transportation of passengers. These changes also include providers that use omnibus for the transportation of passengers. However, if you run a food supply service from a hotel, and if your declared tariff per unit is below Rs. 7,500, you’re exempted from paying GST.
