Wrong to impose GST on international air tickets: IATA
Global airlines' body IATA chief Alexandre de Juniac has said it's "wrong" to levy GST on international air tickets as it contravenes many global agreements to which India is a party. "That's why we are asking the government to zero-rate international tickets," he added. Currently, GST of 5% and 12% is levied on economy and business class air tickets respectively.
