&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Council leaves the 5% tax levied on vaccines unchanged.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council on Saturday decided to waive the tax levied on two critical drugs against COVID-19 and mucormycosis &amp;mdash; tocilizumab and amphotericin B &amp;mdash; and reset the tax rate to 5% for 14 major pandemic relief items, till September 30.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Non-BJP-ruled States registered a strong dissent, terming the continued imposition of GST on critical COVID supplies and drugs as &amp;lsquo;insensitive&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;totally anti-people&amp;rsquo;. They alleged that their proposals for zero-rating or reducing GST rates to 0.1% on critical supplies were ignored by the Union Finance Ministry at what turned out to be another stormy Council meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Voice muzzled, says Bengal Finance Minister&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;West Bengal Finance Minister Amit Mitra said the Council&amp;rsquo;s chairperson, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, allowed his comments to be deleted at the behest of his Uttar Pradesh counterpart, and accused the Ministry of muzzling his voice and cutting off the virtual conference link when he was trying to voice objections.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The 5% GST levied on vaccines was left unchanged, following the recent changes in the country&amp;rsquo;s vaccine procurement strategy that puts the Union government in charge of augmenting supplies. The GST rate on Remdesivir and anti-coagulants like Heparin has been reduced from 12% to 5%. The Council recommended that the same rate be levied on any other drug that may be recommended by the Health and Family Welfare Ministry and the Department of Pharma for COVID-19 treatment.&lt;/p&gt;

GST brought down on 14 COVID relief goods -Vikas Dhoot

-The Hindu Council leaves the 5% tax levied on vaccines unchanged. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council on Saturday decided to waive the tax levied on two critical drugs against COVID-19 and mucormycosis — tocilizumab and amphotericin B — and reset the tax rate to 5% for 14 major pandemic relief items, till September 30. Non-BJP-ruled States registered a strong dissent, terming the continued imposition of GST on critical COVID supplies and drugs as ‘insensitive’ and ‘totally anti-people’. They alleged that their proposals for zero-rating or reducing GST rates to 0.1% on critical supplies were ignored by the Union Finance Ministry at what turned out to be another stormy Council meeting. Voice muzzled, says Bengal Finance Minister West Bengal Finance Minister Amit Mitra said the Council’s chairperson, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, allowed his comments to be deleted at the behest of his Uttar Pradesh counterpart, and accused the Ministry of muzzling his voice and cutting off the virtual conference link when he was trying to voice objections. The 5% GST levied on vaccines was left unchanged, following the recent changes in the country’s vaccine procurement strategy that puts the Union government in charge of augmenting supplies. The GST rate on Remdesivir and anti-coagulants like Heparin has been reduced from 12% to 5%. The Council recommended that the same rate be levied on any other drug that may be recommended by the Health and Family Welfare Ministry and the Department of Pharma for COVID-19 treatment.
