Economic and diplomatic relationships between the United States and India have resulted in a significant interaction between taxpayers in the two countries. Many Indian-resident taxpayers have well-established business interests within the United States, and U.S. taxpayers – both individuals and entities - maintain similar interests in India. Tax advisers serving clients with ties in both countries require familiarity with each’s laws to ensure (with collaboration from advisors in the other jurisdiction, and regarding the U.S./India income tax treaty) effective global tax rates are minimized.
Looming over the tax treatment of American taxpayers with cross-border activities are extensive U.S. information reporting requirements. India is a participant in global bank and asset disclosure programs, and U.S. taxpayers with a presence in India must coordinate their U.S. disclosures with required Indian tax filings. Indian-specific factors also are critical in classifying a foreign interest for United States tax purposes, with classification ultimately dictating which filings are required.
