This month, several manufacturers have lined up discounts on vehicles and accessories, largely driven by the imminent roll-out of GST (Goods and Services Tax). Select Ducati dealers are also offering 25-50 per cent discount on accessories.
These pre-GST benefits, offered for a limited time only, vary from dealer to dealer and differ across motorcycle models too. At some dealerships, 50 per cent discount is being offered on an Akrapovic slip-on for the Panigale and the Multistrada touring pack. Other accessories can be availed at 25 per cent discount. Customers can walk into Ducati dealerships to understand the savings and avail the same before 30 June 2017.
Taxes on motorcycles shall reduce in most states with the implementation of GST on 1 July 2017. And it is raining discounts at many dealerships as the GST draws near. While most manufacturers are offering discounts till the end of the month, some are promoting flash sales before the GST is rolled out. Some brands have also announced price cuts on vehicles as they prepare for the new tax regime to kick-in at the start of next month.
