Social Media Erupts With Memes Over GST Council Decision On ‘Popcorn Tax’

[@muktikantaparida246]

I have never hated any minister more.

[@sathishkumarkumar9008]

Very worst GST council and useless FM never ever ever ever ever ever ever seen

People say the cost of conducting this meeting is far more than popcorn tax to take this decision....is it so?

[@RaviSingh-iv2nw]

Yes... the max tax collection by taxing popcorn, will add 0.003% to the tax collection... But then... She is here to squeeze every penny

When shoes become old and start smelling bad, we don’t keep wearing them. We throw them and buy new ones. Congress was old shoe, so BJ party came as new one. But now BJ party is smelling worse, like cheap fake shoe from market. It is time to change again and find something better to walk with.

In 2014 .. Individual tax collection was 2.65 lakh crores and Corporate tax collection was 4.15 lakh crores In 2024 Individual tax collection is 10.45 lakh crores (up almost 3 times) and Corporate tax collection is 9.41 lakh crores (up only 2 times) So its clear that BJP is taxing the common man much more than the Ambanis and Adanis

[@prakashbandi5716]

Salary and pension of MLAs and MPs need to cut 50 persent with immediate effect since they are enjoying left and right on tax payers amount. GST , GST on each and every items and Hospitals is not correct. Middle and below middle class cannot bear this much higher tarriff of items. This will lead to unrest in the society. Cloths and chappals are also costly we are not in a position to buy enough clothes and chappals.

[@manojm5747]

@@prakashbandi5716 corporate culture is the root cause of all problems. High time for political reforms to cleanse the political system to see only people with real intent to serve society and nation are only into politics but not for social status or to make money. There should be a criteria for political contestants to become eligible before and after winning elections. Govts should reduce their expenses by removing unnecessary layers in the political system. Vote bank schemes should go away as this is creating more pressure on citizens and the real beneficiaries are politicians and political parties enjoying power at the cost of tax payers money. It is the responsibility of govts to provide education, medical facilities etc. Failing which it is collecting taxes in the form of GST on citizens taking care of their own at hospitals. Yes policies should reduce their salaries and facilities...which is the talk every where.

[@RKV8527]

Her husband is 100 RIGHT. It's an old strategy to constitute committees, if one is convinced of the merits, but does not want to give approval. GST on insurance has gone to the committee. She had extracted a public apology from a Coimbatore Businessman, a humble, respected BJP supporter who canvassed for ANNA Malai elections. His crime, he requested a uniform tax on bakery items. He had said, that on one dining table for a family that takes lunch, GST rate is different for each item. She will bring down the Indian economy, BJP supporters are scared away, especially middle-class pensioners and senior citizens Corporates pay 25% tax Middle class pays 30%. and add GST, road tax, land tax, petrol tax, building tax, and professional tax, total tax is 60%. Look at the amount written-off in banks. Corporates securing written-off, 25% tax, do not make private investments They clap and praise Modiji. NH toll is huge Middle class pays 60% tax and pay NH Toll as well.
