Illogical

Car is a fixed asset , it depreciates. If you sell a used car either you make profit or loss. Hence it should be subject LTCG/STCG tax only if you make profit.
How is selling a used car misconstrued as selling a service ? On leasing i can understand , on leasing GST is already applicable.

When VAT (value added tax) was replaced by GST , Goods tax was applicable in manufacturing value chain. How can end user be considered as a person adding value by using the goods. GST on used car sale is illogical. more  

Non-Value Adding Transactions: As you rightly pointed out, consumers are not adding value to the car when they purchase it. This creates a perception that applying GST to the sale of used cars is akin to taxing the transfer of ownership, which does not inherently create value in the same way that manufacturing or providing a service does. Impact on Consumers: The GST on used cars by dealers can push up the price of used cars, which already tend to be more affordable than new ones. This could potentially make cars less affordable for middle-class consumers who rely on the used car market. Double Taxation Concerns: Some argue that the application of GST on used goods may lead to double taxation, especially if the GST is levied on the dealer's margin (which is based on an already-taxed asset). This concern is often raised when the car was originally sold with GST included, and now GST is being charged again on its resale. more  
This govt is taking most illogical decisions in case of auto sector and same is proving counter productive again and again, one of the example of banning 10 and 15 year old cars in Delhi NCR in the name of pollution but there is no impact on pollution and at the same time they are charging full road tax and GST on these vehicles. This govt is crushing middle class despite the fact that this class is biggest loyalist to them. more  
This is not only illogical government rather it is arrogant,manipulsative,insensitive govt.And not only in auto sector but in every dimension of governance and regulatios it is taking non-sense decision. more  
There are many other illogical and unconstitutional things in GST system. One example is 18% GST on members monthly contribution towards common expenses in a Cooperative Housing Society and Residents Welfare Association, just because they are registered bodies. Cooperative Hsg. Societies are registered for members convenience and are not business entities, held by High Courts and Supreme Court. So long as our country has ministers without common sense and legal education common man has to suffer. more  
To fill the coffers of Vote bank and the schemes like ladli behna , Free ration schemes, Awas Yojna et5c.etc.etc the Govt needs money and obviously it is going to be sucked from the middle class taxpayers and cannot come form the corporates and rich class more  
Our finance minister is acting as illiterate and illogical person without any sensitivity towards public.This all because the government has hijacked all the public 's rights and power. Yahoo Mail: Search, organise, conquer On Tue, 24 Dec 2024 at 22:29, Amit Mishra wrote: more
