Shares of the company dipped around 6% in early trade today on back of the above news.
On April 18, 2019, the company had proposed and approved buyback of 3.8 million equity shares, representing 5.2% of the total share capital, at a price of Rs 702 per share for a consideration not exceeding Rs 2633.1 million.
In a press release, the company said, "we have today filed with markets regulator our communication conveying that the increase in the amount of buyback obligation due to the tax proposal in the Finance Bill 2019 was neither contemplated nor prevailing at the time of the consideration and the approvals of the board and shareholders".
Ankit Shah, in his premium newsletter Insider, has explained how Union Budget 2019 spells bad news for buyback traders. You can read it here.
Last week, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed an additional tax of 20% in case of buyback with a view to discourage the practice of avoiding dividend distribution tax (DDT).
Note that the post-budget reaction saw a negative reaction from the market.
There was also debate around the tax for the super-rich which was increased. Also, for the market, buybacks will now be taxable which was also a surprise.
Before any for or against argument against the tax, it is important to understand how government earns its revenue.
Is this Budget A Step Towards India's March to the Rs 5 Trillion Mark?
As can be seen in the chart above, corporate taxes contribute the major chunk to India's revenues. This is followed by borrowings and GST.
Non-tax revenues currently contribute to 9% of overall revenues. Non-tax revenues include dividends that the government receives from PSUs or any other divestment that it does.
Girish Shetty shares some of his thoughts on this topic in the recent edition of The 5 Minute WrapUp. Here's an excerpt from what he wrote...
- Focus on economic growth will mean revenue from corporate taxes will be an automatic by-product.
The modi government has reduced corporate tax rates to 25% for firms with turnover up to Rs 4 billion.
We believe many such measures are needed for India to become a Rs 5 trillion economy in the next 5 years.
