States not to review sales tax

August, 22nd 2009
States will not review the current sales tax rates on jet fuel as of now, even as the troubled aviation industry demanded reduction in the levy. "The mood of states is not to review the (sales tax) rates of ATF," Value Added Tax (VAT) panel Chairman Asim Dasgupta told reporters when asked whether states will lower sales tax rates on jet fuel as global crude prices have come down drastically. Dasgupta said states have asked the Centre certain questions on Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), but have not got a response so far. He said states also do not want the centre to bring ATF in the declared goods category which will bind the states to levy sales tax on jet fuel up to 4 per cent only. Sales tax on ATF vary widely among states.
