Internet prices to increase by 7% ! : The Hindu Posted: 12 Jul 2012 02:02 AM PDT Quote: Originally Posted by mgcarley I think what you have confused is the term "pass through", which doesn't mean "bandwidth charges" as it seems to have been interpreted, but which hasn't been entirely well defined, either. What it relates to in the cellular market is things like roaming charges, but for ISPs it's a bit murkier being that generally you're talking about a service that is more or less fixed (when the license was written in 2007, mobile Internet wasn't really there yet). At the time, it appears to have been a mechanism designed to prevent double dipping. For example, if a company leases some last mile from another company, then license fees should not be charged to both ISP and last mile provider, it should be one or the other - but due to a not very good definition all this appears to have been abused a bit by the cellular companies, who are mostly the ones under fire here. Honestly, I was not confused with the term"pass through", but after reading your post, I am a little confused. In simple words, do you mean to say that the tax will be on gross revenue, net of taxes (practically, as their are no relevant deductions)?? Quote: Originally Posted by mgcarley Otherwise, I don't see any mention about AGR being defined as "revenue - bandwidth fees". Bandwidth is a fundamental cost of doing business for an ISP, if AGR meant "revenue - bandwidth", then the license fee would be 8% on profit, not revenue (gross OR adjusted) and then ISPs would be trying to run at a loss or making like, 1 rupee profit. Of course, then especially for any of the listed companies the CEOs would be ousted by the boards for not performing their fiduciary responsibilities adequately - and probably done for fraud, just for good measure - as they're obligated to the shareholders to maximize returns. I do not understand your second part of argument. Do you mean to say, companies will incur losses just to avoid 8% losses?? Companies pay 30% tax on their profit. Also, just to give an analogy, telecom companies pay 8% fee on AGR which is computed as gross revenue - termination charges paid. Termination charges paid are also fundamental cost of business for Telecom companies. Profit is derived by subtracting many other costs incurred for the business, such as manpower cost, SG&A, subscriber acquisition cost, maintenance cost etc. and hence AGR is called AGR and not profit.
