Quick Summary
There's been news circulating about a potential reduction in GST rates for the pharmaceutical sector, from 12% to 5%. While some specific items like nicotine gum remain at 18%, many essential medicines, vaccines, and diagnostic kits are already taxed at 5%. Other pharmaceutical products and formulations are currently at 12%. It appears the news of a blanket reduction to 5% is not accurate, as most items are either already at 5% or remain at 12%.
All human/animal substances used for therapeutic purposes
12%
Glands and various organs (dried or powdered) for organo-therapeutic uses
12%
Bandage, wadding, gauge and similar types of items
12%
Pharmaceutical products such as sterile surgical catgut, sterile absorbable surgical/dental yarns, sterile tissue adhesives for surgical wound closure etc.
