A speculative news story being circulated in some section of media claiming that Attorney General has given opinion in favour of not appealing in the Vodafone Arbitration award is totally incorrect and without any factual basis.
The Telecom major Vodafone won a long pending case against the Indian government in an international court over Rs.22, 000 crore in retrospective tax dispute. Let’s take a look at what happened; Facts of the Case: The main companies involved were as under: HTIL Hutchison Telecommunications International Ltd (Hong Kong). It was the seller and earner of […]
One among st the main issues surrounding the impasse is the payment of ejected liability carrying a whopping sum of Rs.14000 crore by Vodafone International Holdings B.V. under the parasol of Capital Gains Tax to the Indian tax administration. An issue squarely won by Vodafone in a proactive tax war with the authorities at the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India sometimes designated popularly as the `Tax Terrorism’.
The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, in a major decision, has decided to accept the order of the High Court of Bombay in the case of Vodafone India Services Private Limited (VISPL) dated 10.10.2014. This is a major correction of a tax matter which has adversely affected investor sentiment.
Correct Factual Position and the Circumstances that led to the Government’s Proposal to Withdraw from the Conciliation Measures Initiated Earlier with Vodafone International Holdings B.V.(Vodafone)
British telecom giant Vodafone has decided against making a provision in its balance sheet for the over Rs 11,000 tax claim made by Indian authorities for its 2007 deal to acquire stake in Hutchison-Essar.
Government on Wednesday justified its decision to neutralise the impact of Supreme Court decision in the Vodafone case by amending the Income Tax Act with retrospective effect suggesting it was to prevent outflow of Rs 40,000-Rs 50,000 crore from the exchequer.
Vodafone has issued notice to the Indian government under Bilateral Investment Protection Treaty over tax issue between India and the Netherlands. The Dutch subsidiary Vodafone International Holdings BV today served a notice of dispute on the Indian government regarding proposals in the Finance Bill 2012 which it claimed, violated the international legal protections granted to Vodafone and other international investors in India.
Finance Ministry, while presenting the much disillusioned and indifferent Union Budget with heavy fanfare and subsequent silence, brought out an amendment that took many people by surprise. It was not just a normal amendment. Rather, it was the Amendment with retrospective effect, of taxing transactions which resembled the ‘Vodafone-Hutchison Essar’ deal.
It is, proposed to amend the Income Tax Act in the following manner:- (i) Amend section 9(1)(i) to clarify that the expression ‘through’ shall mean and include and shall be deemed to have always meant and included by means of, in consequence of or by reason of. (ii) Amend section 9(1)(i) to clarify that an asset or a capital asset being any share or interest in a company or entity registered or incorporated outside India shall be deemed to be and shall always be deemed to have been situated in India if the share or interest derives, directly or indirectly, its value substantially from the assets located in India.
