India: major new changes to the tax system on services

New changes to the tax system on services in India: here are all the details that even Italian companies that export will have to consider starting from 1 June 2015.

The Indian Government has recently announced some important changes in relation to the Tax on Services: many of them came into force on June 1, 2015, while others will be considered effective only in the following months. These measures also concern all Italian companies that operate directly in the Subcontinent.

A seguire, sono indicate le principali disposizioni previste da New Delhi entrate in vigore già dal 1 giugno 2015:

  • l’aliquota della Service Tax è aumentata al 14%, dal 12.36% precedente;
  • there Primary education cess and the secondary and higher secondary cess non esistono più;
  • in generale i servizi forniti in relazione ad eventi/attività di intrattenimento o all’accesso a strutture di divertimento sono oggi soggetti a tassazione, ad eccezione di alcuni che continueranno ad esserne esenti;
  • i servizi relativi ad eventi/attività di intrattenimento quali concerti, spettacoli, performance musicali, assegnazioni di premi ed eventi sportivi (diversi da manifestazioni sportive riconosciute) sono soggetti ad imposizione, se il costo del biglietto è superiore alle 500 Rupie  (7 Euro) per i diritti di ammissione di tale evento/attività;
  • i servizi relativi ai contratti d’opera/contratti di lavoro in merito alla produzione di bevande alcoliche sono tassati;
  • le “alternate rates” per il pagamento della tassa sul cambio valute, per i servizi forniti dalle agenzie di viaggi aerei, per i servizi di assicurazione e per i servizi forniti da distributori e agenti di vendita delle lotterie sono state conseguentemente modificate, in maniera proporzionale;
  • l’aliquota per il pagamento della Service Tax under reverse charge è aumentata al 7% (dal 6% precedente), in tutti i casi in cui il produttore di merci/servizi soggette a dazio fornisca servizi esentasse.
