United Breweries Limited — Others, 01-04-2025: Action(s) taken or orders passed

United Breweries Limited has announced a board meeting to discuss an order received from the Maharashtra State Goods & Service Tax Department, imposing a total liability of ₹21.22 crore for the financial year 2020-21. This includes additional tax, interest, and penalties due to alleged non-submission of necessary declaration forms and improper tax levies on transactions involving state beverage corporations.

The company is confident in its ability to appeal the order and does not anticipate any significant financial impact, aside from a minimal pre-deposit required for the appeal process. Investors may view this as a positive outlook, given the company's strong defense strategy and potential for resolution without substantial financial repercussions.
