Vide Notification No. 1/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate), dated 28th June, 2017 the Central Government notified in Schedule IV the list of goods that are covered under 28% tax regime.  229 goods have come under this tax regime.  Since there is opposition from the stakeholders of this high rate of tax and considering the trade and industry the GST Council has reduced the tax rate from 28% to various rates in various notifications issued from time to time by the Government of India.  The GST Council in the 28th meeting held on 21.07.2018 has also reduced the 28% tax rate to lesser tax rates. 

   Vide Notification No. 19/2018-Integrated Tax (Rate), dated 26.07.2018 the Central Government reduced tax rate from 28% to lower rates.  The said notification comes into effect from 27.07.2018.
