Practical guides for Indians forming companies abroad.
Before you remit money to a new company abroad, India's Overseas Investment Rules decide whether you can invest, how much, and what you must report every year. Here is the checklist.
Read →The structure you choose decides where you can trade in the UAE, and the Corporate Tax clock starts on incorporation. How to choose, the first three months, and the Indian-side steps.
Read →Saudi Arabia replaced its foreign investment licence with investor registration in 2025 and changed how commercial registrations work. What an Indian investor now does, step by step.
Read →Hong Kong taxes only Hong Kong-sourced profits at 8.25% and 16.5%, has no VAT and has a tax treaty with India — but every company needs a local secretary and, unless dormant, an annual audit.
Read →A Delaware or Wyoming LLC is quick to form, but a foreign-owned single-member LLC must generally file Form 5472 every year — with a USD 25,000 penalty for missing it. The US and Indian rules, in plain terms.
Read →No tax on profits or gains, but real substance, beneficial ownership and annual return rules — and Indian ODI rules that limit what resident individuals can do. A 2026 briefing.
Read →Often, yes — subject to the destination country's own ownership rules and India's overseas investment framework. Resident individuals invest under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (up to USD 250,000 per financial year) and must meet the Overseas Investment Rules, 2022 — for example, the foreign company must be an operating entity, not engaged in financial services and without subsidiaries controlled by the individual.
Yes. The investment is reported to your authorised dealer bank (Form FC, which generates a Unique Identification Number), an Annual Performance Report is generally due by 31 December each year, and the shareholding must be disclosed in Schedule FA of your income tax return if you are resident and ordinarily resident.
A foreign company is generally taxed in India only if its place of effective management is in India, or on income connected with India. Dividends you receive from it are taxable in your hands in India, with credit for eligible foreign tax. Where key management decisions are actually taken matters, so we plan governance with you from day one.
It depends on where your customers are, whether you need residence visas or a local bank account, and what Indian rules apply to you. As a starting point: the UAE for trading, services and relocation; Saudi Arabia for projects and the Saudi market; Hong Kong for Asia trade; a US LLC for US clients and platforms. See our jurisdiction comparison.
Yes. Non-resident Indians are generally outside the Overseas Investment Rules for investments made from their foreign funds, but the residence test under FEMA differs from the one under the Income-tax Act, so we confirm your status before advising.
Your engagement is led by our senior partners, with our UAE colleagues at probizsetup.com (business setup) and pbz.ae (UAE tax and accounting) supporting UAE work.
