New Delhi: Your household expenses on LPG cylinder has now gone up by Rs. 32 from July 1 depending on the State you reside in. There are twin reasons for this: One is the introduction of GST and the other is a reduction in subsidy.
Domestic LPG is under the 5% tax bracket under the GST regime. Compared with this, earlier the cooking gas was not taxed in some of the States and others applied 2-4 percent VAT. So in States where it was not taxed, LPG cylinder charges will go up by Rs. 12-15 and in other States, the increase will depend on the difference with the earlier tax rate.
