Taxman puts Infosys on notice for over ₹32,000 crore | Mint

Tax authorities have raised concerns about tax evasion of ₹32,403 crore ($4.3 billion) by India's IT giant, Infosys. The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) is investigating the company for non-payment of integrated goods and services tax (IGST) over a five-year period. The investigation focuses on the inclusion of expenses incurred by Infosys' overseas branches as part of its export invoice, which the company believes is not subject to GST. Infosys has stated that it has paid its GST dues and is fully compliant with government regulations. The case has raised concerns about potential litigation and industry-wide implications.
