Yet there were two major changes were made in the said meeting. The tax rate on fertilizers have been reduced to 5% from previously decided 12% The tax rate on Exclusive parts of tractors has been cut to 18% from 28% The said reduction in the rates of fertilizers was made because of the states that were concerned that the 12% GST rate on fertilizers might increase the tax burden on farmers which needs to be taken in account hence considering tax rates on fertilizers in different states, the council unanimously decided to lower the GST rate on fertilisers to 5%.
