GST earlier had rates of 0, 5, 12, 18 and 28 percent+cess. Now in GST, only 4 rates 0, 5, 18 and 40 percent tax will be levied on different things. This will make it easier for the common man and the poor to buy things that make life everyday and easy. In the new GST, most of the things have been brought at the rate of 5 per cent, which were earlier in 18 and 12 per cent.
