<h1>Cabinet Approves Ordinance to Raise Max GST Compensation Cess Rate on Certain Vehicles from 15% to 25.</h1> The Union Cabinet has approved an ordinance to amend the Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to States) Act, 2017. This amendment allows for an increase in the maximum rate of GST Compensation Cess from 15% to 25% on certain motor vehicles, specifically those used for transporting up to thirteen people, including the driver, and those classified under specific headings. Despite this change, the effective rates of the Compensation Cess on these vehicles remain unchanged as per the existing notification. The GST Council will review any potential changes to the effective rate of the Compensation Cess on motor vehicles in the future.
