伦敦:印度预算得到了英国印度商界的积极回应，但追溯性税收问题被他们标记为一个担忧。
“印度预算分析-英国商界简报”与印度联合会合作，在印度之家召集了专家进行小组讨论行业(CII)昨晚。
许多人认为，通过预算，印度政府应该在涉及英国公司的悬而未决的税收问题上采取更明确的立场沃达丰(Vodafone)而且凯恩．
“追溯税是我们期望得到全面解决的问题，但它还没有得到全面解决。这确实需要解决。”Usha Martin董事长、CII印度商业论坛英国分会主席Prashant Jhawar表示。
他的观点得到了均富合伙人兼南亚集团主管阿努吉•钱德(Anuj Chande)的赞同。钱德也认为，商界本希望“在追溯性税收问题上有更多的进展”。
凯恩能源在2006年对其印度子公司进行业务重组，面临10247亿卢比的税收要求，沃达丰在2007年以110亿美元收购和记黄埔拥有的移动电话业务67%的股份，面临纳税义务。
财政部长阿伦·贾特利(Arun Jaitley)在本周早些时候的预算声明中宣布，受追溯修正案影响的公司将有机会获得一次性的争议解决方案。
然而，专家组认为这并没有充分解决这个问题。
伦敦咨询公司Lalcap董事长迪帕克•拉尔瓦尼(Deepak Lalwani)表示:“总体而言，这是一份积极的预算，而财政纪律一直被坚持。但在尚未得到充分解决的问题中，有一个是追溯税。”
“沃达丰(Vodafone)和凯恩(Cairn)的税务问题仍悬而未决……这些问题需要得到解决，以让其他投资者更放心，”他表示。
主持小组讨论的伦敦证券交易所(London Stock Exchange)新兴市场联席主管伊布昆•阿德巴约(Ibukun Adebayo)在分析结束时，给总体预算打了7.5分(满分10分)的“最终评分卡”。他称，预算“令人鼓舞”，因为它坚持了印度的“系统性改革”。
“预算案是人们真正期待的最重要事件之一。这次讨论背后的想法是，如果我们谈论这些事情，我们将对印度经济以及印度-英国经济伙伴关系产生更大的兴趣。”印度驻英国高级专员Navtej Sarna说。
JCB董事菲利普•布维拉(Philip Bouverat)和劳斯莱斯(Rolls Royce)高级副总裁约翰•科普利(John Copley)在会上达成的普遍共识是，这是一份平衡的预算，对财政纪律、基础设施和农村发展有积极影响。

LONDON: The Indian Budget has received a positive response from the UK-based Indian business community but the issue of retrospective taxation was flagged as a concern by them.
'India Budget Analysis - A Briefing for the UK Business Community' brought together experts for a panel discussion at India House in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry<\/a> (CII) last evening.
Many felt the Indian government, through the budget, should have taken a more categorical stand on pending taxation issues involving British firms such as Vodafone<\/a> and Cairn<\/a>.
'India Budget Analysis - A Briefing for the UK Business Community' brought together experts for a panel discussion at India House in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry<\/a> (CII) last evening.
Many felt the Indian government, through the budget, should have taken a more categorical stand on pending taxation issues involving British firms such as Vodafone<\/a> and Cairn<\/a>.
<\/div><\/div>\"Retrospective tax was something that we were expecting would be fully addressed but it has not been fully addressed. It really needs to be addressed,\" said Prashant Jhawar, chairman of Usha Martin, and chairman of CII India Business Forum UK.
His views were echoed by Anuj Chande, partner and head of South Asia Group at Grant Thornton, who also felt the business community would have liked \"more on the retrospective tax issue\".
Cairn Energy is facing a tax demand of Rs 10,247 crore on a 2006 business reorganisation of its India unit and Vodafone faces a tax liability over its USD 11 billion acquisition of 67 per cent stake in the mobile-phone business owned by Hutchison Whampoa in 2007.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley had announced in his Budget statement earlier this week that firms affected by the retrospective amendment would have the opportunity of a one-time scheme of dispute resolution.
However, the panel did not believe this adequately addressed the issue.
Deepak Lalwani, chairman of London-based consultancy Lalcap, said: \"Overall a positive Budget where fiscal discipline has been stuck to. But among the things that have not been addressed adequately is that of retrospective tax\".
\"Tax issues involving Vodafone and Cairn still overhang... these need to be addressed to make other investors more comfortable,\" he said.

<\/div><\/div>Ibukun Adebayo, co-head emerging markets at London Stock Exchange, who moderated the panel discussion concluded the analysis with a \"final score-card\" of seven and a half out of 10 for the Budget overall, which he described as \"encouraging\" for keeping to the course of \"systemic reforms\" in India.
\"The Budget is one of the most important events that is really looked forward to. The idea behind this discussion was that if we talk about these things, we will generate larger interest in the Indian economy as well as the India-UK economic partnership,\" said Indian high commissioner to the UK Navtej Sarna.
The general consensus at the event, also involving Philip Bouverat, director at JCB, and John Copley, senior vice-president at Rolls Royce, was that it was a balanced Budget with positives on fiscal discipline, infrastructure and rural development. <\/div><\/div>
