Inward investment into India is an area of particular expertise within the firm, another aspect of our international approach. When a company, whether from Continental Europe, North America or the Far East, wishes to set up operations in India, it will need:
- advice on the most profitable structure (for example, subsidiary, branch or a liaison office)
- help with the formalities of forming a subsidiary or registering a branch or a liaison office
- clarification of the relevant aspects of the Indian tax and legal systems
- introductions to banks and financial institutions
- Obtaining approvals from various regulatory authorities
- General advisory services as to how to set up business in India.
Once a business is up and running, it may need continuing advice in the specialist areas of double taxation matters, clarification of differences between the India and mother country tax and accounting regulations and tax planning services for its foreign employees working in India. Our experience of this sort of work means that all these services are readily and quickly available.
