Choose Your Structure
Which Business Entity is Right for You?
NRIs can form most Indian business structures — the right choice depends on your investment type, liability needs, and repatriation plans.
Tax & Compliance
NRI Business Taxation — What You Must Know
Running an Indian company as an NRI has distinct tax implications — from corporate tax to DTAA benefits to TDS on dividends.
Corporate Tax Rates
Domestic companies pay 22% base tax (plus surcharge/cess). New manufacturing companies get a reduced 15% rate. Startup India registrations may qualify for a 3-year tax holiday.
TDS on Dividends
Dividends paid to NRI shareholders attract 20% TDS. DTAA with your country of residence may reduce this significantly — we help you claim the treaty benefit correctly.
DTAA Benefits
India has DTAA with 90+ countries. Your business income, dividends, royalties, and capital gains may be taxed at reduced treaty rates — we ensure you don't pay double.
Transfer Pricing Rules
Transactions between your Indian company and overseas related entities must follow arm's length pricing. We handle documentation and compliance to avoid heavy penalties.
GST for NRI Businesses
Indian entities are liable for GST on taxable supplies. Export of services may qualify as zero-rated. We handle registration, monthly filings, and LUT for exporters.
FEMA Reporting Obligations
Annual FLA return, FC-GPR on receiving FDI, and FC-TRS on share transfers are mandatory. Penalties for non-filing can be severe — let our team handle it all.
