Understanding the Compliance for a Foreign Subsidiary Company

As per Section 2 (42) of Company’s Act, 2013 an FSC is a corporate body incorporated outside Indian Territory but has an operational commercial place in India for managing its business activities through an agency, franchise, or by other means. Just like other business models, an FSC also needs to follow the taxation structure for a trouble free regulation of business activities. The regulations for an FSC are, however, additional and different as compared to an Indian Subsidiary.

FSC Compliance is regulated according to Income Tax Act, Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), and Companies Act where the FSC is obliged to file annual Income Tax Return (ITR) with Income Tax Department, Annual Return with Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and other compliances with Security and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Apart from the above discussed compliances, an FSC also needs to file for:

  • Tax Deducted at Source (TDS),
  • Goods and Services Tax (GST),
  • Value Added Tax (VAT),
  • Service Tax, and
  • Employees’ State Insurance (ESI).

The returns to be filed by an FSC depends on several factors, including the nature of a company, state where the company has been incorporated, sales turnover, Industry and number of employees working with the FSC.
