FAQ :

The meeting was held to address challenges and concerns arising from the recent GST rate cuts on fertilisers and related products, and to discuss tax inversion issues in the tractor industry.

The fertiliser industry flagged concerns about approximately Rs 400 crore worth of accumulated input tax credits on existing inventory that may remain blocked due to the rate change. They also noted that the rate cut doesn't cover all micronutrients, potentially limiting cost reductions.

The tractor industry raised concerns about ongoing tax inversion in certain goods taxed at 18% and about Rs 800-900 crore worth of accumulated credits stuck with dealers.

CBIC officials acknowledged the concerns raised by both industries and indicated that possible relief measures could be announced later this year to help smooth the transition.

Tax inversion, as highlighted by the tractor industry, refers to a situation where taxes on inputs are higher than taxes on the final product, leading to a disadvantage.
