INFY » Topics » The size of our proposed offering may be reduced if the potential setting shareholders choose for Indian tax reasons not to convert their equity shares in conjunction with the offering.This excerpt taken from the INFY 6-K filed Feb 23, 2005. The size of our proposed offering may be reduced if the potential setting shareholders choose for Indian tax reasons not to convert their equity shares in conjunction with the offering.
Equity share transactions which are entered into on a recognized stock exchange in India are entitled to preferential capital gains tax rates of 0% for long-term capital gains and 10% for short term capital gains, plus applicable cess and surcharges, provided that a securities transaction tax is paid in connection with the transaction. In contrast, for off-market transactions, the long-term capital gains tax rate is 10%, plus applicable cess and surcharges, and the short-term capital gains tax rate is the taxpayers maximum marginal rate, plus applicable cess and surcharges. It is expected that the preferential capital gains tax rates will not extend to this secondary ADS offering since the equity shares sold in the offering are settled in an off-market transaction. If the selling shareholders in our proposed offering are not entitled to the preferential tax treatment or the settlement of the conversions of equity shares into ADSs is not structured in a manner to obtain such preferential treatment, some of our equity shareholders may choose not to participate in this offering, thereby reducing the size of this offering.
This information is set forth under the caption Exchange Rate Risk under Components of Market Risk above, and is incorporated herein by reference.
