SEZ To DTA Sale Eligible For CVD Exemption As Available To Local Manufacturer

[YAGAY andSUN]

The GST Council is besieged with demands from various quarters for commodity-specific exemptions or concessional tax rates on many products. Of particular note is the one for biris (beedis). This is a bad idea, from the viewpoint of both revenue and public health. Tailored exemptions break the GST chain, raise the chances of evasion and generate systemic inefficiencies, beating the purpose of GST. On tobacco products, the plan is to levy the highest tariff of 28% plus a sin tax component of 15% that will not be eligible for input tax credit. This makes sense as it will keep the GST chain unbroken, while dissuading harmful consumption.
Cigarettes account for around 11% of tobacco consumption but contribute 87% of taxes from tobacco. Heavy taxation of cigarettes has brought down cigarette use, but the use of tobacco in general has gone up, raising the healthcare burden. The National Health Policy 2017 seeks to increase the country’s public spending on health from 1.15% of GDP at present to 2.5% of GDP by 2025, with taxes on tobacco being specifically targeted as a potential source of finance.
