  • Petrol and diesel are exempt from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and are instead subject to a mixture of Value Added Tax (VAT), central excise duty, and central sales tax, which are imposed at varying rates by individual states.

The article from OneIndia discusses the potential inclusion of petrol and diesel under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in the upcoming Union Budget 2025.

The GST Council has been considering this move to streamline taxation, potentially reducing fuel prices by bringing them under a unified tax system.

The article highlights the ongoing discussions, the economic rationale behind the move, and the potential impact on both consumers and state revenues.
