GST rate cuts from September 22: Here's the complete list of goods exempted from tax

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council has approved a fresh two-tier tax structure of 5 per cent and 18 per cent which will come into effect on September 22. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made the announcement after the 56th GST Council meeting on Wednesday, calling it a step towards simplifying the tax system and boosting consumer confidence. Almost all personal use items will see rate cuts as the government looks to boost domestic spending and cushion the economic blow of the US tariffs.
