Request to lower the GST rate on musical instruments and sound recording equipments.
The Issue
Artists struggle most of their lives. They keep working hard towards bringing out better of themselves. Musicians consider their instruments to be close to their heart. Given the instability in the flow of their income, it's unfair to charge 28% GST on musical instruments (Chapter 92). Also, it discourages the music industry to grow in terms of quality and finance. I urge the government and the Ministry of Finance to reconsider the tax slab of musical instruments and sound recording equipments. I appeal to them to charge a minimum amount of tax.
