Quick Summary

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has updated the GST Compensation Cess rates, effective from January 1, 2022. These changes align the rates with the new HS 2022 nomenclature, which includes significant amendments to the classification of goods. The notification specifically revises the HSN codes and descriptions for certain tobacco products and aircraft used for personal purposes.

Background

Earlier, the CBIC issued Notification No.1/2017-Compensation Cess (Rate) dated June 28, 2017 ("the Compensation Cess Rate Notification") in order to notify the rate of GST compensation cess to be levied on the intra-State supplies or inter-State supplies of certain goods mentioned therein.

Further, the new (seventh) edition of the Harmonized System (HS) nomenclature i.e., HS-2022, has come into force from January 01, 2022. This edition has introduced significant changes to the Harmonized System with a total of 351 amendments at the six-digit level, covering a wide range of goods moving across borders.

As India is a party to the HS convention, necessary changes were brought in accordingly, in GST through the below mentioned notification:
