Samsung is locked in a fierce battle against a $520M Indian tax demand, plus $81M in fines on seven employees, totaling a jaw-dropping $601M! The issue? Alleged tariff dodging on telecom gear (Remote Radio Head) sold to Reliance Jio from 2018-2021. This bill could crush Samsung India’s $955M profit from last year!

Samsung’s Counterattack?

Reliance Jio used the same import practice for years without tariffs until 2017.

Authorities knew but didn’t warn Samsung, who claims Reliance stayed silent.

Samsung says the tax order was rushed, denying them a fair defense.

Why It’s Big?

Following Volkswagen’s $1.4B tax fight, this case could rattle foreign firms in India’s tech market. The showdown is now at Mumbai’s tax tribunal. Will Samsung prevail? Stay tuned!
