Cairn Energy wins over $1.2bn award in Tax Arbitration against India at ICJ

 In a major instance, India lost the Cairn Arbitration Case.The case was related to the retrospective tax amendment law and the verdict came late night Tuesday. How did the dispute arise?


Cairn received a notice from the income tax department in January 2014, raising a preliminary assessment of ₹10,247 crore tax liability relating to the group reorganisation done in 2006, when Cairn UK transfered about 10% shares of Cairn India Holdings to Cairn India. This gave rise to different interpretations on whether the UK-based company made capital gains, preceding an initial public offering (IPO) of shares by Cairn India.In March 2015, the I-T department had contended that Cairn UK made a capital gain of Rs 24,503.5 crore in the internal reorganisation. Cairn Energy in 2015 initiated an international arbitration to challenge retrospective taxation.


In the Verdict, India has been asked to pay ₹8,000 crore in damages to the UK oil major.


This amount is equivalent to the value of shares of Cairn that the government had sold to recover a part of the tax demand. It also includes the dividends and tax refund seized.

 Effects of Non-Registration The Companies Act, 2013 evidently highlights that the main essential for any organization to turn into a company is to get itself registered. A company cannot come into existence until it gets registered. But no such obligation has been imposed for firms by the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. If a firm is not registered it does not cease to be called as a firm, it still exists in the eyes law. Certainly, such a big advantage is not absolute but is subjected to a lot of limitations which we will study further. Non-registration of a firm simply means that the business skips the formalities of incorporation and ceases to exist in the eyes of the law. section 58 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 deals with the procedure of incorporation. Likewise, the meaning of non-registration is the exact opposite of registration, meaning when a firm does not go through the procedure of incorporation or start carrying on activities without getting registered.
