AAP government seeks expense details from domestic airlines to check tax evasion

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi has sought detailed information from all domestic airline companies –including government and private ones and helicopters –about the different expenditures incurred by them in their operation, as part of their efforts to check tax evasion.

The move to seek information from all scheduled and unscheduled airline companies spells fresh trouble for the cash-strapped aviation sector, given that it comes days after the Arvind Kejriwal government increased value added tax (VAT) on aviation turbine fuel (ATF) by five per cent, totalling to 25 per cent, that might also increase air ticket prices.
