Vodafone tax case begins in Mumbai

MUMBAI: Telecom major Vodafone on Monday squarely denied any liability for the capital gains tax arising out of its acquisition of Hutch shares, saying that a share purchase deal between two foreign companies was not taxable in India.

Vodafone, which picked up the stake of Hutchisson in Hutchisson-Essar to form Vodafone-Essar in $11.2 billion deal, is contesting the Income-tax Department’s notice for capital gains tax to the tune of around $2 billion.

The final hearing on Vodafone’s petition started before the Bombay High Court on Monday.

Arguing for Vodafone, senior counsel Iqbal Chagla termed the case as a ‘pathbreaking matter,’ saying that for the first time the IT Department is seeking to collect tax in this way. — PTI
