The market is having a hell of a ride these days.
The market is having a hell of a ride these days. When Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced in the Union Budget that FIIs will not be required to pay Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) from April 2015, there may have been a sigh of relief. What then is spooking the market and investor sentiment, especially those of FIIs? Apparently, the tax department and the government seem to believe that this tax can be levied for previous years, a report stated quoting the FM recently stating that the government can garner Rs. 40,000 crore through this tax. It took a conference call by Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha with FIIs to soothe frayed nerves. Sinha reportedly said investors could be "rest assured" that the government was acting to make it possible to invest with confidence, and would back a stable tax policy. That brought the indices hit by weather forecast into the green on Wednesday.
