Incorporation & taxation

This query is : Resolved 

14 November 2012 Hi,

If a company incorporated in US and providing services - advisory of nature to Indian citizens through online -
- is that company required to be incorporate in India

- what is its taxable status as per Income Tax act

15 November 2012 1. No

2. Depends on the exact nature of services provided by US Company, but as per my past experience , the same should not be taxable in India, provided TRC and NO PE Certificate are obtained.

15 November 2012 Services are basically like financial advisory / financial planning kind of..

also if the controlling stake is held by a resident Indian will it change the status of the company as mentioned in the query


15 November 2012 Mr Anuj is correct but.....

As Indians are getting services so naturally they are remitting the funds to USA. And in such a case procedure related to Form 15CA and 15CB comes into and Income Tax gets applied in shape of TDS.

Status of the Company will not get changed but continue to be governed by US laws

15 November 2012 FEMA doesn't allow a resident Indian to hold controlling stake in US Corporation on individual basis.

16 November 2012 Thanks a lot for the replies..Also can you pl confirm on how a resident individual can incorporate a company in US - what are the other alternatives available.

27 November 2012 Also I understand from internet that it is possible to incorporate a company in US without any capital - is this True..? If so will this be contravention of any FEMA rules if incorporated by an individual..? Kindly confirm

28 November 2012 Yes, there shall be contravention under FEMA.

As per FEMA Indian Individuals are not allowed to SUBSCRIBE to the MOA of Foreign Co. and even non paying of any capital can invite penalty of Rs. 2,00,000/-.

28 November 2012 Thanks a lot for the reply and by the way is the answer the same even if its LLC where there is no MOA, etc

28 November 2012 LLC stands for Limited Liability Company and as per my knowledge it has to have an MOA.

29 November 2012 To the extent I understand even an operating agreement & Articles of Organisation will do in case of an LLC,

29 November 2012 Intent of FEMA is very clear, its an individuals choice to interpret in any manner.
