DGGI Withdraws Tax Demand

Infosys Ltd. said that the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has withdrawn the tax demand of Rs 38.9 bn for the financial year ended March 2018, in a partial relief for India's second-largest software company.

This decision comes after a government official told that the Centre was looking at an early resolution of the ongoing tax battle, which started after Karnataka GST officials raised a Rs 324 bn notice for unpaid taxes for services availed by the company from its overseas branches for five years between July 2017 and March 2022.

Infosys added that it has responded to the pre-show cause notice issued by the DGGI for July 2017 to March 2022.

DGGI's decision to withdraw the tax demand for the first of the five years still leaves the dispute over the remainder of Rs 285.1 bn unresolved. It is unclear whether DGGI, the GST investigative arm, has issued a notice or intimation to Infosys about the remaining amount it alleged the latter has evaded.

The controversy stems from the Karnataka state GST authorities, which is a reference to the zonal body of the DGGI, sending a pre-show cause notice to Infosys on Tuesday, 30 July, for alleged evasion of Rs 324 bn in integrated GST (IGST) for supply of services by its foreign branches from July 2017 to March 2022.

JK Tyre Q1 Results

JK Tyre & Industries on Saturday reported a 37% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit at Rs 2.1 bn in the first quarter ended 30 June 2024. The tyre maker reported a net profit of Rs 1.5 bn for the April-June quarter of last fiscal year.

Total income declined to Rs 36.6 bn for the period under review from Rs 37.3 bn in the June quarter of FY24.

The company's strategic thrust on premiumisation and pricing has helped it manage the raw material cost pressures.

Although overall revenues were marginally lower due to a decline in the OEM segment, this was largely offset by increased exports.

During the quarter, exports recorded healthy double-digit growth, despite geo-political disruptions and rising ocean freight.

JK Tyre's subsidiaries, Cavendish Industries and JK Tornel, Mexico, continued to make significant contributions to the overall revenues and profitability of the company.
