Zomato Receives Tax Demand

In news from the e-commerce space, listed food delivery and quick commerce major Zomato said in a regulatory filing that it has received a tax demand, along with interest and penalty, aggregating Rs 95 m from the Karnataka commercial taxes authority.

The company will be filing an appeal against the demand, it said in the filing on the public bourses. The latest order, for FY20, was made in respect of the excess availment of input tax credit by the firm.

Zomato has received multiple similar demands previously, the last being for Rs 118.2 m on 20 April, for export services provided by the company to its subsidiaries located outside India.

Zomato has also received a tax demand concerning the availing of excess input tax credit aggregating to Rs 230 m from the Karnataka Commercial Taxes Authority on 1 April.

It was hit with a similar demand worth Rs 86 m raised by the deputy commissioner of state tax, Gujarat on 15 March.

On December 30 and 31, 2023, the company received three demand orders from the authorities in Delhi and Karnataka over alleged short payment of GST in 2018 amounting to Rs 42 m.

While the first demand pertained to alleged short payment of GST in annual returns and non-reversal of input tax credit in case of exempted supplies, the second was for additional interest on the claim that Zomato had incorrectly calculated the interest amount to be paid to the government on excess input tax credit reversed by the company. In the third case, the Karnataka GST department had made a tax demand similar to an earlier, larger show cause notice.
