  • 3 years ago
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said she was ready to discuss bringing petrol and diesel under GST in the next council meet. "A point which members raised - bring petrol & diesel into GST. Highest tax today on petrol and diesel is in Maharashtra. I'm not pointing out whether one state is more or less. The point is, states also tax fuel, not just Centre. When Centre taxes it's part of devolvable amount," Sitharaman said in the Lok Sabha today.
