财政部长尼尔马拉·西塔拉曼表示,政府将考虑在外资流出背景下关于股权税收的担忧,同时呼吁妥善解决塔塔集团内部正在进行的纠纷。
西塔拉曼在《金融快报》领袖奖颁奖典礼上发言时表示,即使2023年外资流入达到创纪录高位时,税收结构也保持不变,但她承认此后情况已发生变化。
她还敦促塔塔集团领导层在内部解决纠纷,称该事项敏感,需要相当的商业和商务才干。
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said the government will consider concerns over equity taxation amid foreign investment outflows, while calling for an amicable settlement of the ongoing dispute within the Tata Group.
西塔拉曼谈塔塔集团纠纷针对关于拉胡尔·甘地提出指控以及政府是否应介入塔塔集团正在进行的纠纷的提问,西塔拉曼表示,此事需要审慎处理。
据《金融快报》领袖奖报道,她说:“我认为这些都是非常微妙的事情,需要发挥大量的商业和商务才干。商业友善也必须发挥作用。”
她说:“所以我不会轻易说存在这么回事——无论问题多么严重——我知道塔塔的品牌价值,也知道帕西社区为使塔塔成为巨大的全球品牌所做出的贡献。”
Speaking at the Financial Express Leadership Awards, Sitharaman said the taxation structure had remained unchanged even when foreign inflows were at record highs in 2023, but acknowledged that circumstances had since changed.
财政部长补充道:“我也知道塔塔投资的业务范围。这是印度经济的一个非常关键组成部分,因此必须由他们内部友好解决。”
西塔拉曼说:“他们应该通过对话,确保局势迅速恢复常态。不能这样在公众面前扩散。”
She also urged the Tata Group's leadership to resolve the dispute internally, saying the matter was sensitive and required considerable business and commercial acumen.
她补充道:“考虑到该领导层的成熟度,我们希望尽快看到局势平息。这是我们的看法。”
Sitharaman on Tata Group disputeResponding to a question about allegations made by Rahul Gandhi and whether the government should intervene in the ongoing Tata Group dispute, Sitharaman said the matter required a delicate approach.“I think these are very delicate matters, and matters where a lot of commercial and business acumen will have to work. Business cordiality will have to work,” she said, according to the Financial Express Leadership Awards.“So I won't readily say there is—however serious the issue may be—and I know the brand value of Tata, the contribution that the Parsi community has made to make Tata a huge global brand,” she said.“I also know the expanse of activity in which Tatas are invested. This is a very critical component of the Indian economy, and therefore it has to be amicably settled among themselves,” the Finance Minister added.“They should talk it out to make sure that it comes back quickly to some normalcy. It cannot be spilling out like this in public,” Sitharaman said.“Given the maturity of that leadership, we would like to have this scene settled sooner. That's the view,” she added.
当被问及是否会将双方带到谈判桌前达成妥协时,西塔拉曼表示此事敏感。她说:“这就是为什么我说这相当敏感。”“这是我不想急于评论的事情,”她说。
关于税收与外资流动,西塔拉曼也承认了市场对印度税收结构的担忧,并表示将考虑市场参与者提出的问题。
Asked whether she would bring the two sides to the table to reach a compromise, Sitharaman said the matter was sensitive.“That's where I said it is rather a sensitive issue. It's not something I would want to comment on quickly,” she said.
“即使在2023年外资流入创历史新高时,税收结构也是现在的样子,”她说。“如今,形势已经变了,”这位财政部长补充道。“外资流出已经发生,担忧的声音更大了,”她说。“我会考虑所有这些情况,”西塔拉曼说。
Sitharaman on taxation and foreign flowsSitharaman also acknowledged concerns over India's taxation structure amid foreign investment outflows, saying she would consider the issues raised by market participants.“The taxation structure was what it is today even in 2023, when inflows were at record highs,” she said.“Today, the circumstances have changed,” the Finance Minister added.“FII outflows have happened, and voices of concern are louder,” she said.“I will consider all this,” Sitharaman said.
她还回应了关于股权投资应获得类似债券市场支持的呼声,特别是在印度寻求维持7%以上经济增长的背景下。
“在增长至关重要、且要维持7%以上增长的时候,我们需要资本,尤其是股权资本,”她说。
“我们也听到了股权需要获得像债券市场那样支持的呼声。我认同这一呼声,”西塔拉曼补充道。
She also recognised calls for equity investments to receive support similar to that extended to the debt market, particularly as India seeks to sustain economic growth of more than 7%.“At a time when growth is very important, and to sustain 7% plus growth, we need capital, especially equity,” she said.“We also have this voice that equity needs the kind of support given to the debt market. I recognise this voice,” Sitharaman added.
