Why is International Taxation important?

Business Setup

International taxation applies to any person or company who earns income in a foreign country or who carries out a commercial transaction with foreign companies.

It facilitates globalization and information exchange

It promotes investments and mutual relations between two or more countries

It facilitates cross-border transactions and therefore improves growth opportunities

Prevents tax discrimination

It defines the fiscal rights between countries

Avoid conflicts such as double taxation of income

Prevents tax evasion

Business & Investment Structuring

With increased globalization and liberalized economic policies, India has become an attractive destination both from an inbound and outbound investment perspective. This necessitates business enterprises to expand and diversify, thereby raising complexities of tax related and regulatory framework. It becomes increasingly important for business enterprises to find new ways to align their tax strategies with their overall business needs and objectives, while also meeting compliance requirements as they arise. Therefore, in today's global economy, effective tax planning can offer a significant competitive advantage.
