Infy Faces Tax, Visa Fraud Charges in US

28 Feb 2011 Evaluate

Infosys Technologies is facing tax and visa fraud charges in the top market for software exports after an employee filed a case against the company last week. Jack Palmer, who has been working with the company as a principal consultant since August 2008, has filed a complaint with the Alabama Court saying the company was sending employees on B1 visas to work full time in the US, though the visa is only meant for visitors who come for meetings, conferences and business negotiations, etc. In his complaint, he has also accused the company of not paying federal and state taxes in the US.

The US is the most crucial market for Infosys from where it draws over 60% of its revenues. About 15,000 are employed by the company in that country. Palmer said the company had asked him to come down to its headquarters in Bangalore to devise ways to overcome the restrictions on H1B visas that had been put in 2009.
