GST on airport levies: airlines may collect PSF/UDF as pure agents while airport operators remain liable to pay GST. PSF and UDF charged by airport operators are consideration for services to passengers and are taxable under GST; airlines that collect these charges act as agents and, if they satisfy Rule 33's pure agent conditions, must separately indicate the actual PSF/UDF and GST in invoices and exclude those amounts from their taxable value. Airlines may not claim ITC on GST paid on PSF/UDF. Airport operators remain liable to pay GST on PSF and UDF collected, and collection charges paid to airlines are taxable as consideration for airline services.
