Cairn arbitration award | Nirmala says its her duty to appeal
The Hindu
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday indicated the government’s intent to appeal against an arbitration panel asking India to return $1.4 billion to UK’s Cairn Energy Plc, saying it is her “duty” to appeal in cases where the nation’s sovereign authority to tax is questioned.
Last year, the government lost two high-profile arbitrations over the levy of taxes on British firms, using legislation that gave it the power to levy taxes with retrospective effect.
