EY Appeals to Supreme Court Over Tax Treatment of Cross-Border Employee Payments
Ernst & Young (EY) has appealed to the Supreme Court against a June 2023 Delhi High Court ruling that classified payments made by EY India to its US counterpart for employees sent on temporary assignments as taxable fees for technical services, rather than reimbursements of salary costs. The case, covering assessment years 2018-19 to 2022-23, questions whether such payments under secondment arrangements constitute taxable services. The Supreme Court has yet to assign a bench to hear the appeal, which could impact multinational companies operating in India.
