Telecom operators' body COAI has approached the finance ministry seeking waiver of service tax<\/a> on adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues to be paid to the government. The telecom operators have been paying service tax and then GST under the reverse charge mechanism (RCM<\/a>) on licence fees<\/a> (LF) and spectrum usage charges (SUC) made to the Department of Telecom<\/a> for the period starting April 1, 2016. 行业支付6600卢比左右2016年4月至2017年3月的现金流量其输出服务的纳税义务,印度手机运营商协会(COAI)在一封给铁道部称7月17。 电信运营商的身体COAI接近财政部寻求免除服务税调整后的总收益(AGR)会费支付给政府。电信运营商已经支付服务税和销售税在相反的电荷机制(RCM)许可证费用(低频)和频谱使用费用(往下)了电信部门4月1日,2016年开始的。
The industry<\/a> paid around Rs 6,600 crore between April 2016 to March 2017 in cash to discharge its output service tax liability, the Cellular Operators Association of India<\/a> (COAI) said in a letter to the ministry dated July 17.
\"Telecom Sector should not be burdened with Service tax liability due to incremental LF and SUC payable pursuant to the SC decision, as it is going through challenging times,\" COAI Director General S P Kochhar said in the letter.
When contacted, COAI did not comment on the matter.
The industry body's members include Reliance Jio<\/a>, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea.
The Supreme Court had in October last year upheld the government's position on including revenue from non-telecommunication businesses for calculating the annual AGR of telecom companies, a share of which is paid as licence and spectrum fees to the exchequer.
Kochhar said total service tax payable under RCM on licence fees and spectrum usage charges, even after considering incremental demand due to the apex court decision, would have been less than Rs 2,000 crore.
COAI said had the industry known about the incremental demand of LF and SUC, it would have considered the same for computing the amount to be paid under RCM.
Consequently, the output service tax liability paid in cash at that time would have reduced by a corresponding amount.
\"The industry is a front runner in contributing to the Indian economy through payment of fees, taxes, generating employment etc. This will be evident from the fact that in the last 5 years, telecom operators have cumulatively paid service tax and GST of approximately Rs 2 lakh crore,\" Kochhar said.
According to COAI, in addition to the taxes, telecom players have paid regulatory fees in the form of LF and SUC of approximately Rs 87,000 crore in the last five years.
COAI said the telecom sector employs almost 22 lakh people directly and 18 lakh indirectly. It has the second largest private sector investment in infrastructure at about Rs 11 lakh crore.
\"Considering the criticality of this sector to the overall economy and ecosystem, it should not only be secured from any adverse impact but be extended some consideration, specifically where the relief does not result in any loss of tax to the government,\" Kochhar said.
COAI said the industry debt as on March 31, 2019 stood at Rs 6.7 lakh crore. AGR has declined by about 14 per cent from Rs 39,585 crore for the quarter ended March 2017 to Rs 34,136 crore for the quarter ended March 2019.
\"The request to not enforce Service tax liability in the given case is also made on account of the fact that being revenue neutral, it does not cause any loss of tax to the government. If such Service tax is to be paid, it would further block the working capital,\" Kochhar said.<\/p><\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":77733029,"title":"Samsung, Microsoft partner to offer Microsoft 365 apps suite to Galaxy smartphone users","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/samsung-microsoft-partner-to-offer-microsoft-365-apps-suite-to-galaxy-smartphone-users\/77733029","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[{"msid":"77726690","title":"telecos","entity_type":"IMAGES","seopath":"industry\/telecom\/telecom-news\/telcos-seek-service-tax-waiver-on-agr-dues\/telecos","category_name":"Telcos seek service tax waiver on AGR dues","synopsis":"COAI said the industry debt as on March 31, 2019 stood at Rs 6.7 lakh crore.
