Consensus on settlement of Voda tax case soon: Government

The government on Wednesday told the Delhi High Court it will soon “arrive at a consensus” to settle a Rs 4,250-crore transfer pricing taxation demand raised on Vodafone India Services (VISPL). Vodafone through its counsel Anuradha Dutt sought liberty to proceed with the arbitration relating to this dispute if the settlement talks with the government fail, and requested clarification to the court’s November 17, 2020, and December 8, 2020, orders relating to the case.
