The budget proposed a number of regressive, retrospective and extra-territorial provisions, which would increase the tax and compliance burdens of companies operating in the country and impact the way cross-border transactions, and mergers and acquisitions, are carried out.

International Tax Review, along with its sister-site, TPWeek, which focuses on transfer pricing, has put together a selection of articles on the Indian budget and other topical issues.

This special issue will help give you an overview of the Indian budget and its impact on multinationals' taxation and allow you to research further into issues that may affect your company.
