Question

Which of the following is the highest GST rate in India?

• A. 22%
• B. 25%
• C. 28%
• D. 32%

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 28%

28% is the highest GST (Goods and Services Tax) rate in India.

Under the GST system in India, there are multiple tax slabs, and goods and services are categorized accordingly. The primary GST slabs are:

• 5%

• 12%

• 18%

• 28%

The 28% rate applies to goods and services considered luxury or non-essential, such as certain high-end cars, motorbikes, air conditioners, and luxury items. This rate is the highest among the standard GST slabs.

There are also certain goods and services that are taxed at rates lower than 5% or are exempt from GST altogether, depending on their nature and necessity for the economy or public welfare.
