India will charge 40% Invoice on imported solar modules
In support of the domestic solar panel manufacturing industry, India may soon impose a Basic Property Rate on imported modules and solar cells. It has been reported in various media outlets, 40% basic taxation programs on solar modules and 25% on solar cells are ongoing as stated by energy and renewable energy minister Mr Raj Kumar Singh. Background of Taxation Work More than 80% of the solar modules used in solar projects in India are exported to countries such as China and Malaysia. The placement is therefore said to be part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat or Self-Reliant India strategy which aims to increase industry dependence on home-produced modules and cells. Currently, there is a safeguard duty of 15% security tax levied on such purchases. The property tax base, once operational, will replace security services. The project is expected to start in April 2022. MYSUN's Takes: How will job placement affect you as a Power Consumer? Basic Customs Duty, although it is said to be used...
