Wait for revision in the ATF tax structure may get longer

17 Sep 2014 Evaluate

Aviation industry urging the government to categorise ATF as ‘declared good’ may have to wait long, as only few of the states like Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab have expressed willingness to revise state taxes on aviation turbine fuel (ATF).

Ashok Gajapathi Raju, the Union Minister for Civil Aviation has stated that, while the Centre has urged all state governments to rework the tax structure on jet fuel in the interest of the aviation industry, it has received positive response from few only, as the states where aviation activity is low, they responded positively because they wanted more activity and where there is more activity by Indian standards, they were dragging their feet.

The minister admitted that a revision in the ATF tax structure will reduce the financial burden of airlines, as ATF is one of the major cost components for carriers comprising about 45 per cent of the total airline’s cost, but the government can’t put it under ‘declared good’ category, as doing so will remove the power of taxation of state governments.

Meanwhile, the government is mulling evolving a new aviation policy which would enable the sector to grow to its potential and contribute to the economy.
