Today’s top research theme
GST: Rate recalibration likely
Consumers, light electrical and home building may benefit
v
The GST Council in its 23rd meeting, which is scheduled to commence on 10th
November 2017, is likely to make sweeping changes to the GST framework, with
an aim to (i) ease the compliance burden for small businesses and (b) recalibrate
the tax rates on many common-use goods that fall under the 28% slab.
v
We believe that the Council might look to lower rates for items in the consumer,
light electrical and home building sectors.
v
In our view, this should positively impact companies like HUL, GCPL, Nestle, Asian
Paints, Berger Paints, Kansai Nerolac, Titan, Bata, Havells, Crompton Consumer,
Finolex, V Guard, Kajaria Ceramics, Somany Ceramics, Century Ply, and VIP
industries, among others.
