I will call back.” but The Next Web got an update earlier today, they said that the tax officials “visited” their manufacturing unit and the company is fully cooperating to ensure that the necessary information is given, however the operations are not affected.

As a global company, Nokia consistently fields a large and steady number of tax queries, audits and assessments. Nokia’s commitment to being a good corporate citizen is firm and unwavering: we always observe applicable laws and rulings in the countries where we operate. This has been a core principle of our operations in India, where Nokia has been present since 1995.
