The erstwhile 28% GST on small cars has been brought down to 18%, reducing the tax by 10%. This deduction is valid on cars measuring under 4,000mm in length, with engine capacity lower than 1,200cc for petrol and 1,500cc for diesel. For cars measuring over 4,000mm in length, the GST imposed earlier stood at 28%, with an additional cess of 22%, depending on the engine capacity, with the effective tax coming out to be as high as 50%. Such cars with engine capacity exceeding 1,500cc now come under a flat 40% tax slab. The GST on EVs remains unchanged at 5%.
