India’s tax panel rejects airlines’ call to add aviation fuel to GST regime

India's GST council rejected a proposal to include aviation turbine fuel (ATF) under the GST. State governments opposed the move fearing revenue loss. The council imposed 18% GST on used vehicle sales by registered sellers, but not on private sales. Tax cuts on insurance premiums were deferred for further discussion. The decision reflects state concerns about potential revenue reductions from shifting ATF taxation to a national GST system.
