Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy receives ₹50.41 crore tax demand from Kenya Revenue Authority
A tax demand of ₹ 50.41 crore is a substantial amount for the company. While the company intends to appeal, there is a material financial implication if the appeal is unsuccessful.
The company has received a significant tax demand of ₹ 50.41 crore from the Kenya Revenue Authority, which includes interest and penalties, indicating a potential financial liability.
* Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited has received assessment orders from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for a shortfall of tax, including applicable interest and penalty, aggregating to approximately ₹ 50.41 crore. * The orders cover the period from January 01, 2020, to December 31, 2023. * The KRA's demands are primarily due to disregarding the company's income-tax returns (including transfer pricing study) and considering a higher attribution of profits to the Kenya Branch, which also led to a withholding tax obligation. * Additionally, the KRA has raised a VAT demand in relation to ineligible credits and a PAYE (pay as you earn) demand concerning accommodation provided to employees. * The company plans to file appeal(s) against these orders with the appropriate authorities within the prescribed time limit.
