19 January 2008 Could anyone of the experts recommend a good book or books that could answer the following questions :

Basically about formation of company, Tax structures and how to best manage the revenues towards expansion and reaching least taxable income. I'm looking towards gaining information about all this as of now.

1. An overview on what is the Tax structure for a private limited and a public limited software company?

2. Public companies distribute dividend, what does a private limited company distribute to its owners? Are these both Tax exempt?

3. Can a US Based private limited company held by NRI buy property in India to expand its business? or can it only rent property ?

4. For a Indian private limited company, if the company owner wants to expand business and decides to buy another piece of Land/office in India then can he do so from the Revenue earned in that year and can this purchase be considered as an expense and thus lead to reducing the taxable profit?

5. Question 4 same in regards to public limited company?

Any suggestions are really appreciated. Thank you for your time and effort.

Regards
Pankaj
