Seven Samsung India officials have asked a court to cancel New Delhi to cancel the penalty of $ 81 million (about Rs 692 crore) in $ 601 million (about Rs 5,135 crore) of New Delhi, demanding the company to mislead some imports, “No serious crime was committed”, according to legal papers.
In January, the Tax Authority of India developed the tariff, blaming the import of major mobile tower equipment from 2018 to 2021. Samsung has separated the order before the tax appeal tribunal, where it has defended its announcements and denied any wrongdoing.
While Samsung’s India Unit faced a demand of $ 520 million (about Rs 4,443 crore), employees were asked to pay a total penalty of $ 81 million (about Rs 692 crore) to play a role in “deliberately and deliberately” abortion.
The High Court filed in Mumbai which was not made public, but was seen by Reuters, Samsung India Logistics Executive Ravi Chadha said that the authorities issued a fine within two to three days of receiving hundreds of pages of detailed reactions from the company and its officials in January, and the process “ran away”.
“This time limit is fully insufficient to study deepened,” read the filing by Chadha, which is a fine of Rs 950 million ($ 11.1 million).
“The current case is limited to the interpretation of tariff entries, no serious crime has been committed.”
Samsung India and Chadha did not answer the questions of Reuters. India’s Tax Authority did not immediately respond to the recommendations of the comment.
The records of the online court showed that the Vice President of the Network Division, Sung Beam Hong, General Manager of Finance, Sheetal Jain, and Samsung General Manager, Nikhil Agarwal, for indirect taxes, Nikhil Aggarwal has also challenged the tax authority’s order.
Lawyers of all seven officers, Indian law firm Lakshmikumaran and Sriram Sreedharan of Sreedharan did not immediately respond to the request of the comment. Law firm Tax Appeal also represents Samsung in the Tribunal Challenge.
Their arguments and Aadhaar are similar to the cancellation of punishment, with a source of direct knowledge of the ongoing cases.
In filing in his court, Chadha argued that “egoistic” punishment is impossible to bear any salaried employee, and it would take more than 100 years to settle his earnings.
