The Supreme Court has deferred the hearing of Vodafone’s tax case to 15 November.
Vodafone, fighting a tax bill in India over its 2007 purchase of Hutchison Whampoa’s mobile business in the country, had appealed to the Supreme Court challenging a lower court order that Indian tax authorities had jurisdiction over tax bills in cross-border deals.
The tax office last week asked Vodafone to pay Rs 112.18 billion within 30 days, but the company had stated that it “strongly disagreed” with the calculation.
