The nascent imbroglio deals with the rollback of a $10,000 cap on state and local taxes that taxpayers are able to deduct from their federal bill, known as SALT.

Strife At The Top: These
11 C-Suite Execs From India
Were ‘Let Go’ In 2013

New Delhi, Mar 1 () The "test checks" as promised by the government on AGR-hit telecom companies' dues assessment could start this week for large telcos, according to a senior DoT official. The government also wants Vodafone Idea to expedite its self-assessment, and Telecom Secretary Anshu Prakash is believed to have communicated DoT's views in this regard to VIL, CEO and MD Ravinder Takkar during a recent meeting on Friday evening. A DoT official said that "test checks" of AGR calculation for a sample year would commence shortly and it could be as early as this week at least for large telecom companies. On Saturday, telecom operator Bharti Airtel said it has made payment of Rs 8,004 crore towards adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues to the government, an amount over and above Rs 10,000 crore it has already paid. The amount of Rs 8,004 crore includes Rs 3,004 crore towards full and final settlement on AGR dues based on self assessment, and a deposit of buffer Rs 5,000 crore to cover DoT's reconciliation differences. "Based on the aforesaid payment we have now complied with AGR judgement and the directions in the order of the Supreme Court dated October 24, 2019," Airtel said in a regulatory filing. According to the Department of Telecom (DoT) estimates, however, Airtel owes nearly Rs 35,000 crore. DoT is also asking three telecom companies Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Tata Teleservices to provide substantiating documents to support their claims on AGR arithmetic. Once substantiating documents are filed by the companies, the telecom department will initiate random 'test checks' on the AGR calculation in a time-bound manner. The 'test check' will be done for any one year (of telcos' dues) to examine the deviation between telecom companies' assessment and the government's own calculation of AGR liabilities. In all, 15 entities owe the government Rs 1.47 lakh crore in unpaid statutory dues -- Rs 92,642 crore in unpaid licence fee and another Rs 55,054 crore in outstanding spectrum usage charges. Of the estimated dues that include interest and penalty for late payments, Airtel and Vodafone Idea account for about 60 per cent. These dues arose after the Supreme Court, in October last year, upheld the government's position on including revenue from non-core businesses in calculating the annual AGR of telecom companies, a share of which is paid as licence and spectrum fee to the exchequer. The Supreme last month rejected a plea by mobile carriers such as Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea for extension in the payment schedule and asked companies to deposit their past dues for spectrum and licences. Since then, telecom firms and the telecom ministry had been doing separate maths on the actual dues. Vodafone Idea, which is confronted with Rs 53,000 crore in statutory dues as per DoT's calculation, has so far paid only seven per cent of those dues in two tranches. Airtel has paid over Rs 18,000 crore out of its DoT estimated liability of over Rs 35,000 crore. Tata Teleservices has paid Rs 2,197 crore, the entire outstanding it believes to have arisen after the October ruling of the apex court for calculating dues. Both Bharti Airtel Chairman Sunil Mittal and Vodafone Idea Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla continued to meet top government functionaries over the last few days to seek prompt measures that would offer a breather to the troubled sector. Mittal has urged the government for reduction in levies and taxes, as he termed the AGR "an unprecedented crisis for industry". Even as the AGR-crisis has pushed telcos to the brink, the crucial meeting of Digital Communications Commission (DCC) on Friday discussed options on relief to the distressed telecom sector but could not arrive at a decision, as government officials said more details are required for reconciliation of data on statutory dues. Telecom companies have been desparately waiting for a bailout package from the Government after an SC-order on statutory dues, and all eyes were on the DCC meet for the much-needed breather to fix the AGR imbroglio.

The biggest puzzle is what caused the sell-off. What do markets know now that they didn't know a few months ago?Trade wars and their potential escalation? Uncertainty about US mid-term elections? China slowing? Fed hikes? Italy's fiscal rule-breaking? Angela Merkel's political woes? A strong dollar? Higher oil prices? Hard Brexit? Nope, nothing new there.About the only 'new news' in October is the Saudi Arabia imbroglio. Yet few investors ascribe the global equity meltdown to Saudi Arabia alone.While it is fashionable to blame large market sell-offs on 'technicals' - algorithmic trading or index trackers dumping ETFs - that can't be the whole story. If the market decline isn't fundamental, then opportunity exists to buy at knock down prices. Yet the reluctance of stock pickers to move in suggests they sense something is awry.More likely, we've entered 'post-peak.' The best of growth and earnings is over. If so, then the litany of troublesome policies and politics begins to matter.Put differently, when things are good and getting better, it's easy to climb the wall of worry. When things stop getting better, the metaphor becomes Wiley Coyote in thin air a few feet from the edge of another wall - the face of the Grand Canyon.But is it true that we've passed peak growth and peak earnings?It looks that way. Consider first global growth.In the US, economic activity peaked mid-year. Softness is now showing up in housing and autos. Real short rates are edging back toward positive territory (deflated by core inflation). The boost to corporate spending from tax cuts and deregulation is happening now. It will fade next year. Corporate taxes won't be cut again and the low hanging fruit of deregulation by executive order has been picked.Most important, the US economy is at full employment, with trend growth around 2.5%, not 4.2% (the Q2 rate of GDP growth), nor 3.5% (the Q3 rate of GDP growth). From here, either growth slows or inflation accelerates. And if the latter happens, the Fed will hike rates even faster to ensure growth slows.Can China replace the US as the world's growth locomotive? That's unlikely for two reasons. First, China gets less bang for an additional buck (renminbi) of easing. Second, China is now relaxing credit policy to offset the risk that exports will shrivel as trade conflict with the US intensifies. That's hardly reassuring. China is girding itself for the worst, not preparing for compromise.As for Europe, Japan or the rest of the emerging economies the lesson is age-old. They follow, not lead, the global business cycle. Investors could spend less time waiting for Godot.Still, the bulls might counter, what about profits? Aren't we in a golden age of profitability? Surely that will lure investors back into equities.True, for the US and Japan the past decade has seen profit share in GDP, return on capital and a host of other earnings metrics scale heights never before seen in the post-war period.Unfortunately, the best is past in the US. The share of corporate profits in US GDP peaked at 12.6% in Q2 2012, where it then hovered for a few years. Over the last two years, however, it has been falling and is now nearly two percentage points below its cyclical peak.Why? Largely because firms have already squeezed as much as they can out of labour - capturing the bulk of productivity gains for the bottom line. Wages are beginning to rise, while productivity lags. Energy costs are also rising, as is the cost of debt finance. Lastly, as various companies have recently noted, tariffs are pushing up prices for selected inputs.Post-peak US profits is unnerving because in 2018 US equities have been the only game in town. So will any equity market replace the US?Japan is quietly enjoying a remarkable decade-long rise in corporate profits - but can anyone imagine Japan, alone, leading global equity markets higher? Europe and emerging markets have consistently failed to deliver on earnings and without an (unlikely) acceleration of economic growth that won't change.In sum, when times were good and getting better, markets could tolerate shabby politics and dubious economic policy, as well as Fed tightening. Post-peak, that's proving too much to ask.So while it would be nice to think that the rest of the world can grab the market leadership baton from the US, or that value can replace growth as the driver of equity returns, that's unlikely so long as Washington, London, Rome, and a few other places don't start putting wrongs to right. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-you-shouldnt-be-afraid-to-fly-2016-10">Why you shouldn't be afraid to fly, according to a pilot with over 20 years of experience </a></h3> <div> </div> </div>
