We are pleased to advise that in response to representatives of various Trade Bodies, the Government of India has issued a notification exempting aircraft operators from the Service Tax on Export Services.

Therefore the Spotlight Communication Issue 477 is no longer applicable.

If you require additional information or clarification, please contact your local DHL Danzas Air & Ocean representative.
