AI Summary

Cess subsumption into GST may eliminate state cesses but final determination awaits GST Council and could affect GST rates.
Whether state cesses on cotton and cotton waste will continue post-GST depends on GST Council and enacted law; contributors generally report that cesses are to be subsumed into GST to remove cascading tax, but final treatment varies by state and may require higher GST rates or compensation arrangements, while local body levies may be treated separately.
