New GST Developments for Flying Schools
The recent GST Council meeting, chaired by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, has made a pivotal decision to exempt flying schools from GST. This exemption is expected to significantly impact the education and training sectors of the aviation industry.
Changes in Taxation Policies
- The GST rate of 5% will now be applied to passenger transport services provided by helicopters.
- This move is seen as a strategy to promote aviation training and enhance accessibility to flying education.
- Institutes offering pilot training can now operate without the burden of GST, potentially lowering costs for students.
As this policy takes effect, stakeholders are encouraged to adapt their strategies accordingly to fully leverage the benefits of the updated taxation framework.
