Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

What is the biggest regulatory challenge for Taiwanese companies setting up in India?

The primary challenge lies in navigating India’s multi-layered regulatory environment, including direct tax laws, GST compliance, FEMA regulations, and varying state-level requirements such as labour laws and sector-specific approvals.

The Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) helps prevent your company from being taxed twice on the same income — once in India and again in Taiwan.

  • A Wholly Owned Subsidiary (Private Limited Company) is often preferred because it:

    • Offers limited liability protection

    • Provides operational flexibility

    • Enhances credibility with customers and regulators

    • Enables eligibility for government incentive schemes such as PLI

IND AS (Indian Accounting Standards) is India’s accounting framework aligned with IFRS principles.

If your parent company in Taiwan follows IFRS or international standards, aligning Indian financials under IND AS simplifies group consolidation, enhances reporting transparency, and ensures smoother audit coordination.
