Dubai branch expenses:
• A branch is part of the Indian entity. Branch expenses (Rs 9 lakh) are part of the Indian entity's books and P&L. Tax audit thresholds apply to the entity's total turnover (including branch), not separately.
• FEMA: opening a foreign branch requires compliance with the RBI's directions (for branch offices abroad by Indian entities, through the AD bank; remittances for branch expenses are permitted current-account transactions with reporting).
• If the branch creates a PE in Dubai, UAE corporate tax may apply on its profits (9% above AED 375,000). Indian tax applies on global income with FTC.
