Income Tax Dept searches BBC premises in Delhi, Mumbai for alleged tax evasion

New Delhi, Feb 14: The Income Tax Department Tuesday conducted surveys at the premises of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in Delhi and Mumbai in relation to alleged tax evasion and irregularities pertaining to international tax and TDS transactions, officials said. The surveys began around 11 am.

“Surveys, not searches, are being conducted at the BBC offices in Delhi and Mumbai,” a senior official of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said.

The tax authorities are going through documents to check irregularities related to international taxation and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) transactions, another official said.

In Delhi, the gates of the office were locked and no one was allowed the enter as authorities questioned employees. All electronic devices were analysed.

survey action by the tax department against the British broadcaster comes weeks after the BBC released a documentary named ‘India: The Modi Question’. On January 20, the Centre ordered YouTube and Twitter to take down links sharing the documentary, with officials saying it has been found to be “undermining the sovereignty and integrity of India” and has “the potential to adversely impact” the country’s “friendly relations with foreign states” and “public order within the country”.
