  • The new value-added tax (VAT) rule introduced by the European Union from January this year,  will make offshoring costlier for banking and healthcare customers in the region by up to 15%, and squeeze margins of India's top tech firms including Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys and Wipro.
