Hello,
Can any one please guide me on the foll query:
If a Foreign company takes more than 51% stake in an Indian company, will the Indian company be deemed to be a Foreign company as per IT Act (as majority ownership is with a foreign company). If so, will the Indian entity be taxed at 40% plus surcharge & cess?
Management control will be with the Indian company with business operations in India and Dubai. So control is with Indian company but majority ownership is with Foreign entity. So will the tax rate 40% or 30%. Please can anyone illuminate asap?
