Not a generic firm — the full India tax stack.
DTAA structuring, transfer pricing, withholding tax, FEMA compliance, and PE risk management — designed before your India entity opens its doors.
Our Services
International tax services for foreign companies in India.
DTAA Planning
Core ServiceIndia has DTAAs with 90+ countries. Applied correctly, DTAA reduces withholding tax on dividends from 20% to 0–15%, and on royalties from 10% or below. We ensure the correct rate is applied to every cross-border payment.
Transfer Pricing
Core ServiceIndia's TP enforcement is among the world's most aggressive. All intercompany transactions must be at arm's length, documented annually. We design the TP model before incorporation and maintain it every year.
Withholding Tax
Every payment from India to a foreign company is subject to TDS. DTAA rates are often significantly lower than domestic law. We ensure the correct rate is applied and all TDS returns are filed.
PE Risk Management
A PE triggers 40% tax on the parent's India-attributable profits. PE risk is subtle and often missed — until the audit notice arrives. We assess and manage PE risk from day one.
FEMA Compliance
FEMA violations attract penalties up to 3x the transaction value. We manage all FEMA filings as part of every ongoing engagement — FCGPR, FCTRS, FLA, ECB, and compounding.
Cross-border Restructuring
Converting a liaison office to a subsidiary, moving IP, consolidating group entities — cross-border restructuring in India triggers multiple tax events that must be planned carefully.
