Taxing Times for Infosys

THE ECONOMIC TIMES
About this episode

IT services major Infosys has been slapped with a pre-show cause notice from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) for alleged tax dues of over ₹32,000 crores, the biggest ever such number for an Indian IT company. Infosys has cited a recent circular from the CBIC to say the services received from its overseas branches are not taxable.

Why would the DGGI send the notice? What is Infosys' response? And what impact could this have on the company and the broader IT industry? Dia Rekhi and Anirban Chowdhury delve into these questions with tax veteran Ketan Dalal and ET Prime's ace reporters Jochelle Mendonca and Manu Toms.
