Vodafone Group Plc (ADR) (NASDAQ:VOD) may get an official pardon in a $2.2 billion Indian tax case after a panel opposed a retroactive clause in the nation’s regulations that drove away foreign investors and pushed the rupee to lowest level.
The committee reported in a draft report on Wednesday that retrospective tax demands should only be made in rarest of rare cases and changes made to the way capital gains on cross-border agreements are taxed should only apply to future deals.
Ernst & Young LLP and KPMG reported that Vodafone was not legally responsible for its 2007 acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd.’s Indian assets.
The remarks were posted on the finance ministry’s website less than a month after Vodafone showed willingness to fix the lawsuit offered it could just pay the original tax charge and not the penalty and interest.
