Infosys Faces Significant Tax Evasion Claims
Infosys is currently under scrutiny for alleged tax evasion involving a staggering demand of approximately ₹32,000 crore from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) and the Karnataka State GST authorities. This demand covers the period from July 2017 to 2021-22 and marks a significant escalation from previous tax-related issues faced by the company. Historically, Infosys has maintained a good compliance track record, making this claim particularly alarming, especially given its magnitude, which could represent a quarter's worth of the company's revenue. As the investigation unfolds, the gravity of this situation raises questions about its potential implications on Infosys and the broader IT industry, given the unprecedented scale of the demand for an IT firm of this nature.
