The Finance Ministry has announced that the ceiling rate on central sales tax (CST) would stand reduced from 4 per cent to 3 per cent from April 1.
The revenue department has now issued a notification to this effect.
An official release said that the rate of CST on inter-State sale to registered dealers (against Form C) would stand reduced from 4 per cent to 3 per cent or the rate of VAT/State sales tax applicable in the State of the selling dealer, whichever is lower.
The rate of CST on inter-State sale other than sale to registered dealers shall be the rate of VAT/State sales tax applicable in the State of the selling dealer.
