Replacement of Multiple Taxes with a Single Tax There are various types of non-creditable taxes like customs duty, excise duty, CST etc. paid by the builder. These costs are included within the unit’s pricing. All these taxes add up to between 22% to 25% of the unit’s pricing. The proposed GST would replace these taxes with a single tax.
