Who are winners and losers of sales and services tax


Healthy regime: The healthcare industry is one of the biggest beneficiaries under the SST system because consultation fees, medications, usage of medical equipment and ambulance services are exempted.

Under the SST system, which will begin from Sept 1, several manufacturers and importers would have to pay up to 10% tax rate in comparison with the 6% rate under the previous goods and services tax (GST) regime.
