To check the exploitation of consumers by the traders in guise of GST, the union government has launched a ‘GST Rates Finder’ mobile app.
The app will help consumers to find accurate prices of each good they buy in any store in the country. The mobile app can be downloaded from Google Playstore. It also be available on android platform and will soon be available on iOS platform.
The mobile app can be downloaded on any smartphone and can also work in offline mode. This app will determine GST rate for a good or a service by entering the name or chapter heading of the commodity or service.
Apart from the ‘GST Rates Finder’ mobile app, users can also log on to Central Board of Excise and Customs website to know different rates of GST as CBEC “has also provided a GST rate finder on its portal http://cbec-gst.gov.in to help taxpayers know applicable GST rate on their supplies”, the union Finance ministry said in a statement.
