UnscheduledIndian Corporate Taxation

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) projects India to become the second most attractive destination for foreign direct investments during the period 2010-2012. The report further states that India would continue to be an attractive investment destination in the near future. Understanding India as an investment destination requires an understanding of the myriad and complex laws of which Indian tax regulation is one of the most difficult to decipher. The importance of and the need for understanding have been further heightened by the dynamic developments on the Indian tax front in the last few years, including the proposed introduction of the Direct Tax Code on 1 April 2012.

This course is intended to give participants an overview and a good understanding of the Indian tax system (including changes that are to be introduced by the new Direct Tax Code) and its terms and concepts, with particular emphasis on the wide range of corporate/international tax issues that have to be addressed when investing in India. The main focus of the course will be on corporate taxation and investment structures.

This is an interactive course open to a limited number of participants. Prior to the course, participants will be given access to an online platform which provides them with additional pre-reading material and supplementary material (e.g. legal documentation, case law and related articles/literature). During the course, participants will be provided with a course binder containing documents relevant to the course.

The seminar is suitable for CEOs, CFOs, finance and tax personnel of multinational enterprises, tax accountants and lawyers, who deal with Indian tax issues or for those who would like to gain an understanding of Indian corporate tax law.
