I am an Indian resident in the business of imitation jewellery. One of my primary markets is Hong Kong and China. I frequently travel to Hong Kong & China for business.
I am looking to set up a company in Hong Kong which. The company will do trading outside India (that is buying from suppliers located outside India, and selling to clients located outside India). So the profits that will be generated will be purely foreign income (without any link to India).
My questions are as follows:
1) First and foremost: Is any prior permission of RBI required for setting up a company in Hong Kong by Indian resident individual?
2) I assume that it will be necessary to show the profits generated in the foreign company as foreign income in my books of accounts in India, correct? In such a case, will I have to pay taxes on the income of the Hong Kong company both in Hong Kong as well as in India? Is there a way to avoid such double-taxation on the same income?

There is no bar on your forming any company in any part of the world but permission from RBI is required for investing funds in that company. Secondly the country in which you are setting up the company has some norms and if you are fulfilling those norms then there is no problem The company earning income in any part of the world will have to pay the taxes of that country and not always of India. Yes if you earn any income from that company being resident then that income has to be shown in your return.
