Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, on Thursday shared an idea on how taxes on petrol and diesel can be further slashed. The minister known for his unique ideas said that if petrol and diesel are brought under the GST regime, then taxes on petroleum products will reduce further.
He, however, pointed out that bringing petroleum products will require a collective effort from all states. The BJP leader said that Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman will definitely try to bring petrol and diesel under GST if she gets the support of the state governments.
The Senior BJP leader said, “In the GST Council, finance ministers of states are also members. Some states are against bringing petrol and diesel under the GST regime. “If petrol and diesel will be brought under the GST regime, then taxes on these products will be reduced and revenue of both the Centre and the states will increase,” media reported.
