WTO: India’s e-comm proposal silent on ending tax moratorium

Even though officials maintain that they will push for an end to the moratorium on imposing customs duty on cross-border electronic transmissions at the World Trade Organization (WTO) ministerial scheduled to begin on Monday, India’s formal proposal communicated to the WTO on e-commerce makes no mention of it.

This leaves only South Africa seeking an end to the moratorium.

In its proposal, India has just sought intensification of the work programme on e-commerce, particularly in line with the development dimension.
