SPECIALIST SERVICE

CORPORATE FINANCE

Expanding beyond India is no longer limited to large multinational corporations. Today, Indian businesses, startups, family offices, and investors are increasingly exploring global markets—particularly in regions such as the UAE, Middle East, UK, and Southeast Asia.

At Anil Sekhri & Co., we assist clients in navigating the complex tax, regulatory, and structuring challenges of cross-border operations, ensuring both compliance and tax efficiency.

ESTABLISHING GLOBAL PRESENCE

Businesses expanding internationally must carefully evaluate the nature of their overseas footprint. We advise on:

  • Liaison Office (LO), Branch Office (BO), and Project Office structures

  • Setting up Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (WOS) abroad

  • Determining Permanent Establishment (PE) exposure under Indian tax laws and Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA)

  • Structuring operations to optimise corporate tax, withholding tax, and indirect tax exposure

Understanding the right structure is critical to managing tax liabilities across jurisdictions.

GLOBAL COMPLIANCE & REPORTING

Cross-border operations come with multiple regulatory obligations. We support clients with:

  • FEMA and RBI compliance for outbound and inbound investments

  • Transfer Pricing documentation and reporting

  • Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) and OECD compliance (if applicable)

  • Coordination of financial reporting and filings in overseas jurisdictions

  • Advisory on repatriation of profits, dividends, and capital

Our aim is to ensure seamless compliance while avoiding regulatory risks.

INTERNATIONAL TAX STRUCTURING

We help businesses and individuals design efficient global structures by considering:

  • Interaction of Indian tax laws with foreign tax regimes

  • Use of DTAA benefits to minimise double taxation

  • Structuring of holding companies, SPVs, and investment vehicles

  • Advisory on cross-border financing, royalty structures, and IP ownership

  • Tax-efficient structuring for UAE Free Zone and Mainland entities

  • Taxability of salary across jurisdictions (India & overseas)

  • Advisory on residential status and global income taxation

  • Structuring secondments and international assignments

  • Social security and DTAA relief planning

  • Filing of income tax returns for expatriates in India

PAYROLL & EMPLOYEE STRUCTURING

For companies operating across borders, we provide:

  • India payroll setup and compliance

  • Advisory on TDS, PF, ESIC, and labour law compliance
