<h1>Skoda Auto Volkswagen India challenges $1.4 billion tax notice over alleged misclassification of car imports. Hearing on Feb 17.</h1> The Bombay High Court will hear Skoda Auto Volkswagen India's plea on February 17, challenging a USD 1.4 billion tax notice from Indian customs authorities. The company is accused of misclassifying imports of Audi, Skoda, and Volkswagen cars as individual parts instead of 'completely knocked down' (CKD) units, which incur higher duties. The notice claims this misclassification allowed the company to pay significantly lower customs duties. Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, formed from the merger of Volkswagen's subsidiaries, aims to expand its market share in India by 2025, following a substantial investment in the India 2.0 project.
