The Micro, Small, and Medium-scale Enterprises (MSMEs) in the engineering sector have demanded reduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) to 5 %.
J. James, co-ordinator of the Federation of Coimbatore Industrial Associations that has over 20 associations as its members, said the entire engineering industry should be brought under 5% GST from the existing 18% to give a boost to the sector. The recent changes in GST rates have increased the rate for job works to 18% from 12%.
