The Income-Tax (I-T) department in its reply to Vodafone International Holdings BV’s petition, filed in the Bombay High Court, contended that the latter acquired a business interest in India and hence is liable to pay tax on the transaction.
The Bombay High Court today issued a stay order on the showcause notice sent by the Income Tax (I-T) Department to British telecom major Vodafone. The I-T Department had asked the company to pay Rs 12,000 crore as tax on its acquisition of a majority stake in Hutchison Essar Ltd in 2007. The court fixed July 8 for the next hearing.
THE Indian tax authorities had advised British telecom major Vodafone to pay tax on its $11-billion acquisition of Hutchison Essar before it sealed the transaction, according to a recent income tax order. In a letter on March 23, 2007, the Income Tax (I-T) department had asked Vodafone to pay withholding tax, nearly one-and-a-half month before the telco made the payment to Hong Kong-based Hutchison International for buying two-third stake in Hutchison Essar.
The Bombay High Court today adjourned to July 8, the hearing on an appeal filed by Vodafone International in a dispute over tax liability. The court also stayed the ruling passed by the I-T department on May 31. The dispute is over the tax liability of Vodafone after it acquired Hutchison International’s stake in Hutchison- Essar in a USD 11.1-billion deal in 2007.
Vodafone moved Bombay High Court on 07th June 2010, challenging the income tax (I-T) department’s right to levy a tax on its $11.1-billion deal in 2007 to acquire Cayman Island-based Hutchison International’s stake in Hutchison Essar.
The UK’s Vodafone, fighting a tax bill in India from its 2007 purchase of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd’s mobile business there, said authorities had set a June 14 hearing to discuss the size of the tax bill.
British telecom major Vodafone Plc today received a new showcause notice from the income tax (I-T) department, quantifying its liability at Rs 12,000 crore on its 2007 acquisition of a majority stake in Hutchison Essar. The company is expected to approach the High Court here over the next few days to challenge the notice.
The Income Tax Department has, in a 761-page order, asserted its jurisdiction to tax Vodafone Group Plc’s $11.2 billion deal with Hutchison Telecommunications International in 2007, saying the deal was designed to hoodwink tax authorities by showing it had taken place abroad.
In a setback to telecom service provider Vodafone, the Income Tax Department on Monday said it has the jurisdiction to tax the $11.1-billion Vodafone- Hutchison Essar deal of February 2007. “We have jurisdiction over taxing Vodafone. Jurisdiction order has been issued … We will send the tax demand to them within few days,” Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) chairman S S N Moorthy told media.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked telecom companies to submit their account books to the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG). CAG had been asked by the Centre to check under-reporting of revenue for calculating the licence fee. A division bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Valmiki Mehta directed telcos to provide details of their revenue sharing to CAG.
