India to take up IT firms’ tax issue with Australia

India will ask Australia to amend its domestic law swiftly for the resolution of the tax issue being faced by Indian IT companies under the double-taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA), when trade ministers of both nations meet here next month, sources told FE.

New Australian trade minister Don Farrell will visit India in September for the joint ministerial commission meeting with commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal, an official source said.
