2nd Annual Conference on
"Managing Indian EPC Contracts: Indirect Tax Implications and Optimization Strategies"
August 9-11, 2012, The Lalit, New Delhi
Timings: 9.30 am to 5.30 pm
EPC Globalization is inevitable in India as Governments move away from investing in structural infra projects, encouraging “Public Private Partnerships” (PPP).
With multi-pronged levy of indirect taxes both by the Centre and by the States, the indirect tax burden on total project cost could range from 20 to 25 percent. And with investment portfolios worth hundreds of millions, Project Owners cannot afford to ignore understanding of such critical indirect tax regimes. Any lack of understanding will take away the margins for a very long time, proving to be fatal for the project profit estimates.
Whether it is the state level VAT; Octroi, Entry Tax and other local taxes including Stamp duty; or the Central Levies like Central Sales Tax, Customs Duty, SAD, Service Tax, Excise Duty, Labor Cess and other such fee OR Project Benefits under various State and Central Schemes; the Project Owners and their Financial team must understand the intricacies to optimize tax and hence, optimize the cost.
Above all, such large investment projects require efficient and methodical Contract Structuring and Drafting, covering the interests of not only the tax structures but also the lenders’ requirements. The India EPC sector is witnessing tremendous litigation owing to faulty contracting based on poor understanding of such taxes and levies.
The path to optimized “Tax Cost” is difficult and tedious, requiring expert insights.
Understanding such complexities of business and creating an efficient and legal contractual framework between various stake holders could mean tax optimization by 2-3 percent of the total project cost plus hassle free speedy execution.
