Will GST Rate Cuts Truly Benefit Consumers?
A Closer Look at Past Trends
GST rate reductions are often celebrated as a win for consumers. However, history tells a different story. Despite multiple GST revisions in the past, retail prices rarely reflected these cuts. Why? Instead of passing savings to buyers, many businesses retained their prices and enjoyed higher profit margins.
Investor Takeaway
Investors should watch how companies respond to the latest GST cut. If prices remain stable, companies could see improved margins, positively impacting profitability. On the other hand, if businesses pass on the benefits, it may boost sales but pressure margins.
