We guide Indian entities expanding globally and foreign entities entering India through the complexities of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA), Transfer Pricing, and Expatriate Taxation. Our goal is simple: to structure your cross-border presence so that you do not pay a dollar or rupee more in tax than legally required.
