Vodafone wins international arbitration against India in $2 billion tax dispute case: Report
报道：沃达丰赢得国际仲裁案，涉及
20亿美元税收纠纷
NEW DELHI: Vodafone Group Plc has won an international arbitration case against the Indian go nment in a $2 billion (over Rs 20,000 crore) tax dispute, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
新德里：新德里:据两位知情人士透露，沃达丰集团(Vodafone Group Plc)在一场价值涉及20亿美元(超过2万亿卢比)的税收的国际仲裁中，赢了印度政府。
An international arbitration tribunal in The Hague ruled that India's imposition of a tax liability on Vodafone, as well as interest and penalties, were in a breach of an investment treaty agreement between India and the Netherlands, one of the sources said.
一位消息人士表示，海牙的一家国际仲裁庭裁定，印度对沃达丰征收税款以及利息和罚款，违反了印度和荷兰之间的投资条约协议。
The tribunal, in its ruling, said the go nment must cease seeking the dues from Vodafone and should also pay 4.3 million pounds ($5.47 million) to the company as partial compensation for its legal costs, the source said.
该消息人士称，法庭在裁决中称，印度政府必须停止向沃达丰索要税款，并应向该公司支付430万英镑(合547万美元)，作为其法律费用补偿。
Vodafone and India's finance ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
沃达丰和印度财政部并未对此发表评论。
The tax dispute stems from Vodafone's acquisition of the Indian mobile assets from Hutchison Whampoa in 2007. The go nment said Vodafone was liable to pay taxes on the acquisition, which the company contested.
这场税务纠纷源于沃达丰2007年从和记黄埔收购印度移动资产。政府表示，沃达丰有责任为此次收购纳税，该公司对此提出异议。
In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the telecom provider but the go nment later that year changed the rules to enable it to tax deals that had already been concluded.
2012年，最高法院做出了有利于
沃达丰
的裁决，但政府在那年晚些时候修改了规则，使其能够对已经达成的交易征税。
In April 2014, Vodafone initiated arbitration proceedings against India.
2014年4月，沃达丰对印度政府提起国际仲裁诉讼。
India is entangled in more than a dozen international arbitration cases against companies, including Cairn Energy, over retrospective tax claims and cancellation of contracts. The exchequer could end up paying billions of dollars in damages if it loses.
印度卷入了十多起和企业之间的国际仲裁案件，其中包括凯恩能源(Cairn Energy)，涉及追溯性税收主张和合同取消。如果败诉，印度国库最终可能要赔偿数十亿美元。

I welcome this international arbitration decision.
Corporates cannot function if tax policies are not stable and are discretion at the hands of policy makes.
我欢迎这一国际仲裁决定。
如果税收政策不稳定，由决策者自由裁量，企业就无法运作。

这对沃达丰来说是胜利，但对人民党支持的Jio来说是惨败。对国家来说是巨大的损失，但对沃达丰来说是巨大的胜利。这笔钱应该由Jio出。

Kill vodafone abd BSNL so that Jio will prosper.
Kill E commerce (Wallmart and Amazon) so that upcoming Reliance retails may proposer.
Target is to make Ambani world's richest and Adani World's second richest person in the World and eventually India will become 5 Tr economy.
扼杀沃达丰和 BSNL, Jio将蓬勃发展。
扼杀电子商务(沃尔玛和亚马逊)，信实零售商将蓬勃发展。
其目标是使安巴尼成为世界上最富有的人，阿达尼成为世界上第二富有的人，最终印度将成为5万亿经济体。
