India has garnered global business interest for over 3 decades now, be it as an attractive investment jurisdiction, for MNCs setting up shop to cater to the large Indian consumer base or for housing global captive centres. Multinational companies have also increasingly engaged with Indian talent for tech R&D and this trend only seems to be growing. When evaluating important M&A opportunities, business projections and profit estimation – a key element of consideration is optimising for tax cost. Indian tax laws are fairly complex, and the tax authorities are infamous for being stringent in their approach. There are many unique taxation concepts that take MNCs and deal makers by surprise and require well thought through planning. This Webcast will provide a distilled perspective of various Indian tax touchpoints and their nuances clubbed with practical guidance on how to better navigate such issues.
