Chartered Accountants in India for NRIs, Indian professionals and European businesses. Indian tax returns, property sales and TDS, Form 145 and 146 for moving money to Europe, treaty relief with your tax residency certificate, FEMA filings and Indian company setup, coordinated with your local tax adviser.
Seven areas cover almost every India–Europe situation we see. Each links to a detailed page on what's involved and the documents we'll ask for.
We confirm your residential status, file your Indian return, apply treaty rates using the tax residency certificate from your local tax office and claim back excess TDS on interest and rent.
A buyer deducts tax on the full price when an NRI sells. We work out the real gain, get a lower deduction certificate before the sale and claim any refund afterwards.
Forms 145 and 146 replaced Forms 15CA and 15CB from 1 April 2026. We issue the Form 146 certificate and help you file Form 145 so the bank can send funds to your IBAN.
We form the Indian entity, report the investment to the RBI, then run GST, payroll, TDS, audit and ROC filings every year.
Treaty rates on Indian income, Form 41 filed online with your tax residency certificate, and the figures your local adviser needs to claim relief at home.
Our team keeps your books in Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, with reconciled accounts, management reports and VAT records ready for your local accountant.
Overseas investment (ODI) filings, the Annual Performance Report due by 31 December, treaty withholding on royalties and fees, and India–Europe transfer pricing.
People and businesses with ties to both India and Europe. We do the Indian tax, accounting and regulatory work and keep it consistent with what you report at home.
Yours may look different, but the approach is the same: understand the Indian position, file correctly, and give your local adviser clean figures.
The buyer plans to deduct TDS on the full sale price, and the money needs to reach a German account.
The property and bank deposits need transferring, with a sell-or-rent decision ahead.
The GmbH wants an Indian team without breaking Indian company, tax or employment rules.
The bank deducted tax at the full non-resident rate on interest every quarter.
A notice about an old return came in with a short deadline to reply.
The family business wants a sales company in Italy to serve European buyers directly.
The family wants to move savings, a pension and investments without surprises.
One Indian tax year touches two European tax years. Indian tax year 2026-27 runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, so its last three months belong to your 2027 return at home.
DEReturn for the previous year if you file it yourself. Later when a Steuerberater files for you.
NLReturn for the previous year. An extension can be requested online.
FRThe online deadline for the déclaration de revenus depends on your département.
IEForm 11 pay and file. Extended to mid-November when you file and pay through ROS.
ESThe filing window for the previous year usually opens in early April.
SEThe return for the previous calendar year is due at the start of May.
Standard dates for individuals. Countries move dates for weekends, holidays and extensions, and Switzerland and other countries set dates by canton or region, so your local adviser confirms yours.
Under the Common Reporting Standard, Indian banks and fund houses report accounts held by residents of European countries. India passes that information to your home tax office every year, so the Indian figures on your return need to match.
Balances, interest, dividends and sale proceeds travel automatically between tax offices.
NRE and FCNR interest is exempt in India but usually taxable where you live.
TDS certificates and computations from us support relief on your home return.
If Indian income was left out before, we prepare the figures your adviser needs to correct it.

Each one decides which country taxes which income first.
India counts your days in India. Your European country applies its own tests, such as a home there or more than 183 days. If both treat you as resident, the treaty's tie-breaker rules decide.
Rent and gains from property in India are taxed in India first. As a European resident you usually report them at home too and claim relief.
Treaties cap Indian tax on interest, dividends, royalties and fees for residents who hold a tax residency certificate and file Form 41.
Your home country gives credit for the Indian tax, or exempts the income, depending on the treaty and the type of income.
Social security agreements decide where staff on assignment pay contributions. Trade agreements are changing tariffs and investment flows. Both affect how you set up and run an Indian entity.
India has social security agreements with many European countries. An employee sent on a short assignment can stay in their home system with a certificate of coverage, issued in India by the EPFO, instead of paying contributions in both countries.
Coverage and time limits differ by agreement. We check the one that applies and handle Indian payroll and PF for staff posted to India.
We help European companies plan the Indian entity, transfer pricing and FEMA filings, and Indian companies plan overseas investments, around these agreements.
NRIs can generally remit up to USD 1 million each financial year from an NRO account once Indian tax is paid. From 1 April 2026, Forms 145 and 146 replaced Forms 15CA and 15CB.
Sale proceeds, rent, a maturing deposit or an inheritance lands in your NRO account.
