Infosys Resolves ₹32,403 Crore GST Notice with DGGI
Infosys, a large IT company, had a tax dispute regarding ₹32,403 crore.
The government's tax department, DGGI, issued a notice, but after Infosys responded and argued against the tax, DGGI closed the case.
This means Infosys doesn't have to pay the claimed tax.
Infosys had argued that GST wasn't applicable on the expenses and they've paid all due taxes, a point recognized in a recent circular.
The issue, which involved non-payment of IGST, is now resolved.
DGGI closed pre-show cause notice proceedings against Infosys.
The notice involved non-payment of IGST under the Reverse Charge Mechanism.
The GST amount in question was ₹32,403 crore.
The notice covered the period from July 2017 to March 2022.
Infosys stated the matter is now closed with the DGGI communication.
