三星在接到DRI通知后正在寻求“法律意见”
据《经济时报》4日报道，韩国信息产权局认为，三星电子进口的网络设备产品Remote Radio head (rhs)在申报过程中出现了错误，从而错误地获得了基本关税减免。
据《经济时报》4日报道，韩国信息产权局认为，三星电子进口的网络设备产品Remote Radio head (rhs)在申报过程中出现了错误，从而错误地获得了基本关税减免。
“这是一场涉及法律解释的税务纠纷，”三星在一份声明中表示。“我们正在审阅这份通知，并征求法律意见。”
然而，DRI表示，rrh是成品，不需要进一步制造。因此，它们不能作为零部件进口，也没有资格享受基本关税豁免。
在通知中，DRI询问该机构为什么不从这家韩国电子公司的印度子公司收回1728.47亿卢比的税款和利息。印度情报研究所已经对三星在古尔冈和孟买的工厂进行了搜查。
DRI向三星印度发出原因通知
该机构在通知中还问道，为什么不应该对该公司的高级管理人员进行处罚。DRI亦向普华永道私人有限公司(普华永道)和一名在调查期间接受质询的副局长。
该机构还向普华永道(PwC)发出了一份理由说明通知。三星聘请普华永道对受到审查的网络设备进行分类。两家公司都被要求在30天内对通知作出答复。
2012年获得合同
DRI指控称，在调查期间，三星故意将这些设备错误地分类给了该公司间接税团队的官员，并给出了其所称的逃避和荒谬的答复。
2012年，三星从Reliance Jio Infocomm获得了4G网络设备供应合同。在2017年推出商品和服务税(GST)制度后，该公司开始自行进口设备，并在当地销售给Reliance Jio。

\u201cThis is a tax dispute involving interpretation of law,\u201d Samsung said in a statement. \u201cWe are reviewing the notice and are exploring legal opinion.\u201d
<\/div><\/div>The investigating agency said Samsung has been importing the equipment since January 2018 with 219 bills of entry for import cleared by the company till July 2021, self-assessed at nil rate of basic customs duty. The bills under scrutiny state the equipment as \u201cparts,\u201d with Samsung declaring the quantity in kilogrammes.
The DRI, however, said RRHs are finished products and require no further manufacturing. Thus, they cannot be imported as parts, and aren\u2019t eligible for basic customs duty exemption.
In the notice, the DRI has asked why the agency should not recover Rs 1,728.47 crore as duty along with interest from the Indian subsidiary of the South Korean electronics company. The DRI has conducted searches at Samsung\u2019s Gurgaon and Mumbai locations.
