India: India E-Commerce Taxation Chapter uri icon

abstract

  • Indian tax law does not include particular provisions governing the taxation of e-commerce transactions. E-Commerce transactions are taxed under the same law as traditional transactions. However, the application of the Income Tax Act to e-commerce transactions is often challenging, requiring Indian courts and the Authority for Advance Rulings to reframe e-commerce transactions as traditional transactions and stretch the language of the Income Tax Act to apply to transactions in the new media.
