Changes to local tax application for India shipments where invoice is not paid in India
In Safmarine, we remain committed to creating an easy and simple shipping experience for you. One of the ways to
do this is by informing you about upcoming local government regulations so that you can also prepare ahead of time
for its potential impact on your business.
As such, we want to inform customers located outside of India, who are shipping to and from India, about the India
Service Tax, a government regulated service tax on certain services rendered within India.
The application of the India Service Tax will result in an increase of 12.36 percent on both import and export service
charges including terminal handling, detention, inland haulage, container cleaning and documentation fees.*
Starting June 1, 2015, the India Service Tax will be paid on all shipments where the local charges are invoiced to
companies outside of India. The India Service Tax is already applied on shipments where the invoice is paid locally in
India.
In case of any further questions please do not hesitate to contact your local Safmarine representative.
*Please note that the adjustment % is based on service tax rate as of April 20, 2015, and is subject to change. Safmarine does not plan to make
market announcements with regards to the changes to the India Service Tax rate.
