Infosys Under GST Watchdog Investigation for Alleged ₹32,000 Crore Tax Evasion.
Infosys Faces Investigation by DGGI for Alleged ₹32,000 Crore Tax Evasion.
Infosys is under investigation by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) for an alleged tax evasion exceeding ₹32,000 crore related to integrated goods and services tax, as reported by the Economic Times. The alleged evasion spans from July 2017 to the 2021-2022 period.
The DGGI’s inquiry highlights that Infosys, through its overseas branches serving clients, may have failed to pay GST under the reverse charge mechanism. The branches are considered ‘distinct persons’ under the IGST Act, obliging Infosys to remit GST on supplies received from these international offices.
