Google, Netflix, Adobe pay up 2 per cent additional Equalisation Levy

New Delhi: Google has paid the 2% additional equalisation levy on digital transactions after holding it back initially. Netflix and Adobe have also paid up, said people aware of the development. This is expected to put pressure on the others such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Ebay and Uber that haven’t paid the levy, citing lack of clarity.

“We have complied with the additional tax levy,” a Google India spokesperson told ET, but didn’t say how much it had paid. Netflix and Adobe did not respond to queries.
