印度卖主团体敦促财政部长和GST理事会拒绝对软饮料、香烟和烟草等坏账货物征收35%的拟议税。 The Indian Sellers Collective has urged the Finance Minister and GST Council to reject a proposed 35% tax on demerit goods like soft drinks, cigarettes, and tobacco. 专家组认为,这将使遵约复杂化,损害零售商的利润,助长非法市场。 The group argues this would complicate compliance, harm retailers' profits, and boost the illicit market. 他们担心它会给外国生产者带来好处,并损害小企业,使许多人买不起这些商品。 They fear it will benefit foreign producers and harm small businesses, making these goods unaffordable for many. 该提案将在即将于12月21日举行的GST理事会会议上讨论。 The proposal will be discussed at the upcoming GST Council meeting on December 21.
