Cyrus Dhabhar | Sep 16, 2017GST Cess: Jaguar Increases Prices For Luxury Cars And SUVsFollowing the increase of cess from 15 per cent as part of the original GST rates (43 per cent tax - 28 per cent GST + 15 per cent cess) to 20 per cent cess for luxury cars and 22 per cent cess for SUV, Jaguar India has had to increase prices cross the range. The increase on the cars and SUVs ranges from about Rs 80,000 to about Rs 10 Lakh depending on the model in the Jaguar range in India. The increase in cess has also adversely affected Jaguar's sister brand Land Rover with prices being increased across the board on all the SUVs sold in India. The move to increase prices comes after the GST council took the decision to increase cess on all cars and SUVs that are longer than the 4-metre bracket.1 min read
Cyrus Dhabhar | Sep 16, 2017GST Cess: All Land Rover SUVs Get Price HikesLand Rover is possibly one of the most affected brands when it comes to the new GST cess rates in India. Considering the fact that all Land Rover vehicles are large SUVS that are longer than the 4-metre length requirement that is needed for a lower cess bracket, every single SUV has received a price hike. Prices of the newly launched Discovery too have been affected. Where the new Land Rover Discovery with the 3-litre petrol engine originally was priced from Rs 68.05-84.43 lakh, the new prices for the SUV (petrol) are pegged at Rs 71.38-88.56 lakh. The diesel version of the new Land Rover Discovery has had an even larger price increase. The SUV with the diesel engine was priced originally at Rs 78.37 lakh to Rs 1.00 Crore and now, with the increase in prices due to the additional 7 per cent cess levied on all SUVS in India (larger than 4 metres), the new price ranges from Rs 82.21 lakh to Rs 1.07 Crore (ex-showroom).1 min read
