20 months cash cost breakeven-the dangers of DishTVs strategy

Posted by ANANDH SUNDAR 09 May 2021 17823 Views

Now, none of us would like to be classed as 'average', and I'm the first one to admit that there are quite a few pitfalls in that. Still, for the purpose of analyzing aggregate data, that would serve fine. To further appreciate the rest

The Budget of FY12-13 dropped a tax bombshell by introducing a retrospective change in law from 1962, directed at Vodafone and other simillar cases. While my esteemed seniors will doubtless analyze or litigate this change in law, I thought it fit to



Immoral/Illegal/Against public policy-yet taxable or tax deductible in India

Posted by ANANDH SUNDAR 24 February 2012 7474 Views

During my study of both direct tax and indirect tax law, I saw quite a few instances where although the activity in question was illegal or prohibited, that fact was not considered for the purpose of tax law. That does seem a bit strange that tax la
