The International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have been at loggerheads over tax exemptions for future ICC tournaments on Indian soil, including the World Cup. The ICC wants the Indian Cricket Board to give tax relief to its tournaments on Indian soil, including the World Cup, so that it can earn huge profits. When the BCCI says that it is up to the government, not us, to decide whether to levy the tax or not.
The ICC and the BCCI have been at loggerheads over tax issues since 2012. "We are in touch with the Indian Cricket Board and are in talks to get tax relief," the ICC said. When the cycle of international cricket began in 2015, an agreement was reached between all the member countries, under which tax relief is a basic condition for hosting an ICC tournament.
Meanwhile, an Indian Cricket Board official said, "It is up to the government, not us, to decide whether to levy a tax or not." The Indian government also did not grant tax relief to Formula One car races.
