- Nokia Tax Evasion Case The Income Tax Department has asked Nokia to pay Rs 13,000 crore before March 31, 2012 for tax and transfer-pricing issues, reports The Economic Times.

This follows tax raids from Indian Income Tax officials on Nokia India’s Sriperumbudur (TamilNadu) plant and offices in Chennai earlier in the month. The Income Tax department had later apparently asked Nokia India for a clarification on non-payment of ‘tax deducted at source’ (TDS) on software supplies and on change in accounting model. The department had pointed out that Nokia India was sending its parent company Nokia OYJ, payments for software supplies since 2005, which attracted TDS as per the IT Act. However, Nokia did not deduct any TDS on these payments. - Bharti Airtel Bidding For Telecom License In Myanmar Bharti Airtel has submitted a bid for telecom license in Myanmar to expand its presence in Asia, reports The Hindu Business Line.
