To the aviation industry, this brought a sharp division on the basis of the level of travel. Although the government has continued with a reduced tax on fuel-saving travel, high-end services are now subject to the general 18% rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 98.4348%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 26.2948%\">\n<p><b>Travel Class<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.959%\">\n<p><b>2025 GST Rate<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 18.7364%\">\n<p><b>2026 GST Rate<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 45.9616%\">\n<p><b>Purpose of Change<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 26.2948%\">\n<p><b>Economy Class<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.959%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5%<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 18.7364%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5%<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 45.9616%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maintain affordability for mass transit.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 26.2948%\">\n<p><b>Premium Economy<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.959%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">12%<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 18.7364%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">18%<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 45.9616%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rationalization under the 18% standard slab.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 26.2948%\">\n<p><b>Business Class<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.959%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">12%<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 18.7364%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">18%<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 45.9616%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taxing premium services as standard services.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 26.2948%\">\n<p><b>First Class<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 15.959%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">12%<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 18.7364%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">18%<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 45.9616%\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alignment with the luxury service framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GST_on_Flight_Tickets_Domestic_Rules_and_Regulations\"><\/span><b>GST on Flight Tickets Domestic: Rules and Regulations<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To travel within India, GST on domestic flight tickets is based mainly on the Class of Travel.

The decision to raise the GST in India from <\/span><b>12% to 18%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, however, portrays this policy of 2026, whereby premium services will be subject to the normal rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Rules_for_Domestic_Travel\"><\/span><b>Key Rules for Domestic Travel:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Intrastate Travel:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> When the origin and destination are located within the same state (e.g., Mumbai to Nagpur), the tax would be divided into CGST (2.5% or 9) and SGST (2.5% or 9).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Interstate Travel:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In case of travel between states (e.g., Delhi to Bangalore), only one IGST (5% or 18%) would apply.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Regional Connectivity Exemptions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Economy class becomes 0% GST on flights entering or leaving underserved airports under the scheme of UDAN (e.g., certain locations in the North East) to ensure that local development occurs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GST_on_International_Flight_Tickets_in_2026\"><\/span><b>GST on International Flight Tickets in 2026<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One such area of hustle is the question of whether GST on international flight tickets is different from the domestic structure.

The reason is that the Place of Supply is the point of embarkation, not in the taxable territory of India.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Intermediate_Stops\"><\/span><b>3.

Once the journey is completed (or at the time of booking), the airline will issue a tax-compliant invoice. This invoice should then be matched with your GSTR-2B and the credit feasible from them in your monthly returns.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"2\">\n<li><b> How to calculate GST on flight tickets?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To calculate GST on airline tickets, add the base fare and the fuel surcharge. Ignore airport fees like UDF or PSF. Multiply the sum by the applicable rate\u20145% for economy or 18% for premium classes. This will give you the exact GST component of your fare.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"3\">\n<li><b> What is the GST on flight tickets?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GST on flight tickets in India is a value-added tax imposed on the services of transporting passengers. It is divided into two major brackets: 5% to the economy category and 18% to the premium cabins, business class, and premium first class.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"4\">\n<li><b> What is the GST rate on tickets?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The GST rate on economy tickets in 2026 is 5%. The rate on all other classes, such as premium economy and business class, is 18%. This rate is charged on domestic and international travel that originates in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"5\">\n<li><b> Do you pay GST on flight tickets?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, all flight tickets where an Indian airline or travel portal has been used to purchase the flight ticket attract GST on journeys within India. The tax is often contained in the aggregate fare; however, it is shown as a break in the invoice.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"6\">\n<li><b> Can I claim a GST refund on flight tickets?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Personal passengers cannot claim a GST refund on a trip already taken. But when a ticket is cancelled, the GST amount is normally refunded as a total refund. The GST can be taken back by businesses in input tax on flight tickets.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"7\">\n<li><b> Is GST charged on flight tickets?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, GST on flight tickets is an obligatory tax within the present Indian tax system of indirect tax. The airline charges it to the passenger and remits it to the government.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"8\">\n<li><b> Is GST applicable to international flight tickets?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, the GST on international flight tickets applies to all the flights that are leaving an Indian airport. When flying out of India to a foreign country, the GST is paid at the same rate as when flying locally (5% or 18%).<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"9\">\n<li><b> Is GST different for domestic and international flights?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No, the percentage rates are the same for both domestic and international travel originating in India. However, international flights starting outside India and landing in the country are generally exempt from Indian GST.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify\" start=\"10\">\n<li><b> How to claim GST back at the airport?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is currently no provision in India to claim a GST refund at the airport counter for flight tickets.
