For e.g. Central Excise Act, 1944, respective State VAT laws.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"246\">There will be only one such law because GST shall subsume various taxes as specified above.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"38\">2<\/td>\n<td width=\"155\">Tax rates<\/td>\n<td width=\"174\">There are separate rates.
