Levy of IGST on ocean freight held unconstitutional


Quick Summary
This document details a significant Gujarat High Court judgment that declared the levy of IGST on ocean freight charges for CIF imports as unconstitutional. It explains that under the IGST Act, importers are neither suppliers nor recipients of the shipping service, thus cannot be made liable for the tax. The ruling highlights that such a levy is contrary to constitutional provisions and principles of law, potentially leading to double taxation. This insight is crucial for importers and tax professionals navigating GST regulations on international trade.
