ATF to be Taxed under GST Soon, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri hints

The Oil Minister, Hardeep Singh Puri, has hinted at the upcoming taxation of ATF (Aviation Turbine Fuel) under GST. The government is considering bringing ATF under the GST regime to simplify the tax structure and streamline the aviation industry’s taxation process. The potential move aims to reduce the overall tax burden on airlines and improve the competitiveness of the Indian aviation sector. This development is significant as it could lead to lower operational costs for airlines, ultimately benefiting the aviation industry and its consumers. The decision is expected to be part of broader reforms in the aviation and GST sectors.
