财政部长Nirmala Sitharaman宣布,石油产品和酒精将仍然不在货物和服务税制度之外。 Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that petroleum products and alcohol will remain outside the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. 自2017年GST启动以来,这些物品被排除,成为政府通过消费税和增值税获得的主要收入来源。 Excluded since GST's 2017 launch, these items are key revenue sources for the government via excise duties and VAT. 将它们纳入《全球增长和发展战略》可以降低各州的财政自主权,使其税收分开,并促成零售价格的上涨。 Integrating them into GST could reduce states' fiscal autonomy, keeping their taxes separate and contributing to higher retail prices.
