Taxes were puzzled by Nokia of 650 billion rupees, equivalent to us $ 10.5 billion dollars, while Nokia and Microsoft traded only 7.2 billion dollars, to sell Nokia have enough.

卖了也不够还：诺基亚欠印度105亿美元

今年3月份，诺基亚就被印度指控逃税，印度税务部门还因此开出了208亿卢比(约3.83亿美元)的税收催缴单。现在诺基亚卖给微软了，可是税务问题还是没解决，印度要求诺基亚必须付清所欠税务。可是6500亿卢比的税款却难住了诺基亚，折合美元可是105亿美元，而诺基亚和微软的交易也只有72亿美元而已，真是把诺基亚卖了都不够还的。

不受诺基亚关闭钦奈工厂的威胁，一高级财政部官员12月6日宣称，诺基亚必须付清总计约6,500亿卢比(约合105亿美元)的税务负担。当被问及对芬兰外长ErkkiTuomioja最近的声明的回应时，该高级官员说“诺基亚必须得支付税务负债总额”。上周，Tuomioja在接受一群印度记者的采访时表示，若在12月12日之前，诺基亚税务问题还没解决的话，诺基亚可能会关闭钦奈工厂，这会直接或间接影响印度30000多从业人员的就业。

他说，“诺基亚和微软之间有一个协议，就是，除非在12月12日之前诺基亚解决这一纠纷，其钦奈工厂的资产被解冻，否则，钦奈工厂将会被排除在微软与诺基亚的收购协议中。如果没解决的话，最坏的情况是诺基亚可能会关闭钦奈工厂，该工厂雇用了几千员工，算是分包商的话，多达30000人。所以，我认为这对任何一方来说都是没有好处的”。

所得税部门已经就诺基亚在印度的子公司自2006年来因违反预扣税条例，同时还为其母公司上缴专利使用费一事发表了通报。诺基亚已经向德里高级法院寻求解冻其资产的方案，还提出至少缴纳2250亿卢比以作为税款，说该强制令会影响其与微软的交易。

本周，IT部门向德里高等法院表示，诺基亚愿意向其至少支付2,250亿卢比以作为税款，但是这远远少于诺基亚所欠的近6,500亿卢比的总税务责任，这是不能接受的。但是，诺基亚坚持其提议，并指出，这是他们能提出的最好的提议了。

该案件已经安排在12月9日处理，诺基亚必须详述其资产及负债情况，以及它在这里已经缴纳了多少税。诺基亚的钦奈工厂是其最大的工厂之一。如果公司的资产在12月12日之前仍没被解冻，它可能会被排除在诺基亚和微软的72亿美元的交易之外。
