GST IN DEPARTURE AREA OF INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND BEYOND

The implementation of GST in the departure area of international airports has led to confusion and chaos among the duty-free shops and passengers.

Earlier, duty-free shops used to sell goods at a discounted price as they were exempted from paying any taxes. However, with the implementation of GST, they are required to pay taxes on the goods sold.

This has led to an increase in the prices of goods sold at duty-free shops, which has affected the business of these shops.

Passengers are also affected as they have to pay more for the same goods that were available at a lower price earlier.

The government has clarified that GST is applicable on all goods sold in the departure area of international airports, including those sold at duty-free shops.

However, there is still confusion regarding the implementation of GST on goods purchased by passengers who are travelling to countries where GST is not applicable.

The government needs to provide more clarity on the implementation of GST in the departure area of international airports to avoid confusion and chaos among the duty-free shops and passengers.
