Residency Citizenship Planning Services

Country Selection

A person should go where he/she is treated the best and has better opportunities. With this thought, we first analyze the need of our client and accordingly provide them with global residency and citizenship options. Through our analysis, the choices are then reduced to the best suited residency programs.

Project selection

In countries like the USA, where the residency options may depend upon the project feasibility, our professional team of experts conducts a comprehensive study of the available projects. This study helps our client in making the right choice.

Due diligence of foreign funds

Services under this sphere include undertaking due diligence of foreign funds and developers and providing a comprehensive report on the background of the promoters, track record, and risk analysis.

Reserve Bank compliances

As per the present Indian laws on foreign remittances i.e. Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, an individual investor could transfer up to USD 250,000 per financial year. Whereas, the applicable threshold for the companies is 400% of its net worth. Besides the given threshold, there are various restrictions on making foreign remittances. We study all these in the light of the intended transaction and help our clients in remaining compliant with the Indian laws while planning for their residency services.

Tax planning

There are various bilateral tax treaties signed by India with various countries including USA, Malta, Cyprus and other European countries. While planning for residency it becomes imperative to study the impact of these treaties on the Indian and global income of the clients. Our team of professionals carefully analyze suchimpact and help the clients in forming appropriate tax planning strategies.

Estate Planning

There are various taxes imposed on the wealth of individuals by certain countries like France, Portugal and Spain. Also, there are countries like the US and Japan which have inheritance tax norms. Our clients, most of which our families, have comprehensive estate tax implications while shifting their base to a new country. Our team of experts guide them on the implications of wealth tax, inheritance tax and other forms of taxes on the property, thereby helping them in avoiding or reducing the tax burden.
