Mercedes-Benz E-Class & GLE SUV Become Cheaper in India After GST 2.0
1. Why the Price Dropped
- Earlier, luxury cars were taxed under 28% GST + compensation cess.
- Under GST 2.0, the GST slab increased to 40%, but the compensation cess was removed.
- This led to an overall reduction in tax burden and lower on-road prices.
