BMW India Chief Financial Officer Carsten Lammers has called for faster resolution of tax and Customs disputes, saying prolonged litigation creates uncertainty for businesses. Speaking at the 3rd SIAM Automotive Taxation Conference, Lammers said some cases he handled as a lawyer 10 years ago are still awaiting final court decisions. He urged simpler procedures, clearer policies and consistent implementation to improve business stability and attract investment. Lammers said global companies see India as the next big thing because of its fast-growing economy, skilled workforce and expanding middle-class consumption. He acknowledged government steps such as faceless tax assessments, digitised GST, quicker refunds and risk-based compliance. He said artificial intelligence can assist corporate tax teams but cannot replace human judgement in financial decisions.
