New Delhi | Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Sambit Patra on Wednesday asked Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s for his response on alleged income tax evasions of his brother-in-law Robert Vadra.
Addressing the Press Conference, the BJP leader said “Income Tax has directed Robert Vadra to pay arrears for the year 2010-11. We want to ask Rahul Gandhi what he has to say on the Income-Tax evasions of Robert Vadra.”
The Income Tax Department had ordered Delhi-based Sky Light Hospitality LLP – a company linked to Robert Vadra to pay over Rs 25 crore as tax liability for the assessment year 2010-11.
According to a few media reports Sky Light Hospitality had earlier declared its income for AY 2010-11 to be Rs 36.9 lakh. However, in its notice, the I-T department has re-evaluated the income and determined it to actually amount to Rs 42.98 crore, meaning that only about 0.86 percent of the income was declared. The report stated tax payable on this revised income has been determined to be Rs 25.8 crore.
