Real estate, natural gas may soon be brought under GST, says Arun Jaitley

  • Finance minister Arun Jaitley on Monday hinted at the possibility that the government may soon bring cooking gas and real estate under the ambit of the goods and services tax (GST), to be followed by a similar move with regard to petrol, diesel and potable alcohol. “So far the mood of most states is not to include petrol and diesel in GST. I’m sure as the GST experience moves on, I think natural gas, real estate which includes land... these are areas which are to be brought in and then probably at some stage we will try for petrol and diesel and then of course potable alcohol,” Jaitley said.
