Selling a Car? 18% GST Applies—But Only for Dealers

The imposition of 18% GST on second-hand car sales has sparked significant criticism from netizens, with many questioning the central government's policies. However, the GST Council has clarified the situation.

The council stated that this GST rate applies only to registered businesses or dealers involved in car sales. Individuals selling cars privately are not subject to GST.

Despite this clarification, concerns remain. Many argue that dealers will pass the tax burden onto customers, effectively increasing costs for buyers and creating additional financial strain.
