NEW DELHI: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Thursday said that the Group of Ministers (GoM) has extended its support to the Centre's proposals to eliminate the 12 per cent and 28 per cent slabs under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure. We have supported the two proposals by the Govt of India of scrapping GST slabs of 12 per cent and 28 per cent, Choudhary said after attending a meeting of the Group of Ministers (GoM) with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. He added that while all states participated in the discussions and offered suggestions, a few had some observations. Everyone made suggestions over the proposals made by the Centre.

The proposal by the Central Govt of ending two slabs was deliberated on and supported. We have made recommendations. The GST Council will make a decision over this. We have supported the two proposals by the Govt of India of scrapping GST slabs of 12 per cent and 28 per cent, he stated. Speaking to reporters, Chandrima Bhattacharya, Health Minister, West Bengal said, All the states are with the common people, but I raised in the meeting that if the states are going to lose the revenue, then that ultimately goes back to the common people so we want to know how we are going to be compensated. The GoM will now send its report to the GST Council with the notings of our concern we raised. She further added, We don't know what is the revenue loss by this GST rate cut. They have not assessed yet. In the GST Council we will get to know.Speaking on the revenue loss, Uttar Pradesh Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna said, The presentation given at the Centre did not mention how much loss is being incurred, so we cannot say how much loss there will be from working like GST.
