Bhutan: Manufacturers fear that India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) may reduce exports of cement. Input costs such as coal and limestone may fall in India when rates decrease following the introduction of the new tax regime on 1 July 2017 said Naman Sidarth of the Ims Taxo service in a presentation to the Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), according to the Kuensel newspaper. India is the main target of cement exports from Bhutan and it has previously benefited from the differing taxes implemented between its states. The new GST will amalgamate taxes levied by the central and state governments.
