THE CHALLENGE LANDSCAPE

Why Tax & Regulatory
Matters Now

The challenges organisations face in this space are growing in complexity and urgency. Here is what is driving the conversation.

"
01 / REGULATORY
OECD Pillar Two 15% global minimum tax is now effective in key jurisdictions. Indian multinationals must assess their ETR exposure by entity and jurisdiction urgently.
"
02 / OPERATIONAL
India's transfer pricing authorities are increasingly focused on intangibles, digital transactions, and value chain contributions. Attribution disputes have escalated significantly.
"
03 / REGULATORY
Classification of financial service transactions, input tax credit reversals under Rule 42/43, and cross-border financial services treatment remain live disputes for most BFSI entities.
"
04 / GOVERNANCE
The 2022 FEMA Overseas Investment Rules have fundamentally restructured how Indian entities invest abroad. Compliance gaps from the transition remain a significant exposure.
