An effort is being made to change the rules so that companies with certain sales in France or Germany pay tax on those sales in those countries. We would lose out in such circumstances. Up to now, we would have gained from such transactions. Now it is proposed to take the tax at source in Germany, France or wherever these sales are made. That means we will be at a loss, which will affect our GDP.
