Investors must pay taxes on money earned in India: Arun Jaitley

16 May 2016 Evaluate

With a revised India-Mauritius pact in place to check round-tripping, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that the investors must pay taxes on money earned in India and that India no longer needs any “tax-incentivised route” to attract foreign investments as Indian economy is now strong enough. He also ruled out any reduction of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) due to imposition of capital gains tax on investments through the island nation.

Jaitley said that there was no “serious apprehension” of investors shifting base to other tax havens due to the re-drawing of the decades-old tax treaty with Mauritius -- the biggest source of foreign investments into India. He further added that by checking round-tripping of funds, the amendment would help boost domestic consumption.

Recently, India has concluded the long-negotiated amendments to the existing Double Tax Avoidance Convention with Mauritius. The changes will have an impact on foreign investors who route their investments from this country to avoid paying capital gains tax in India. India will begin imposing capital gains tax on investments in shares through Mauritius from April next onwards.
