With the declaration of GST rates of fruits and vegetables, fresh and unprocessed fruits and vegetable have been exempted which is a positive impact of GST for agricultural industry. However higher rates of 12% and 18% have been introduced for dry fruits and preparation from fruits and vegetables which were taxed at a rate of 5% earlier leading to a negative impact on FMCG Companies.
The overall GST rates will impact majorly the end consumers as the goods which was earlier taxed at a rate of 5% will now be taxed at 12% or 18% leading to a price increase and consumption decrease.
