Businesses bemoan Indian ‘tax terrorism’ and red tape

Businesses bemoan Indian ‘tax terrorism’ and red tape

Expanding operations in a fast-growing country like India may seem like a lucrative opportunity, but for bearings maker Timken India, the journey has been far from smooth. Sanjay Koul, the managing director, highlighted concerns about the challenging business environment in India, citing issues such as “tax terrorism” and the complexity of doing business in the country.

Despite these challenges, Timken India, a subsidiary of the Ohio-based parent company, sees the potential in India as a sourcing destination. However, Koul emphasized the importance of strategic investments to maximize returns. With over three decades of presence in India, employing over 1,200 staff and operating across multiple states, Timken’s experience reflects the obstacles faced by businesses amidst slowing economic growth.

Investors have long urged India to streamline regulations, simplify taxation, and enhance the ease of doing business to attract more investments and create employment opportunities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to attract global investors and position India as a manufacturing hub have underscored the urgency for reforms.

However, challenges persist, with red tape, labor laws, and taxation regulations hindering business growth. Despite recent reforms such as easing company registrations, labor code consolidation, and digitization of tax processes, businesses still face bureaucratic hurdles and legal complexities. The archaic regulations dating back to India’s independence era add to the burden, making it difficult for businesses to operate smoothly.

The introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2017 aimed to simplify taxation processes, but businesses continue to grapple with ambiguous interpretations and lengthy legal disputes. Recent cases involving multinational companies like Volkswagen, Infosys, and Kia highlight the challenges posed by India’s tax system, leading to retrospective tax notices and prolonged legal battles.

In a bid to address these issues, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed reforms to simplify the income tax manual and reduce disputes. The proposed changes aim to alleviate the burden on businesses and create a more conducive environment for investment.

Despite these efforts, India’s regulatory landscape remains complex, deterring some businesses from expanding their operations. Comparisons with China’s centralized system, which offers a more streamlined process for setting up factories, highlight the challenges faced by businesses in India.

As India strives to attract more investments and foster economic growth, addressing regulatory bottlenecks and enhancing the ease of doing business will be crucial. Streamlining regulations, simplifying taxation, and improving transparency in governance are essential steps towards creating a more business-friendly environment in India.
