What the French parent must do at home after investing in India

CA Utsav Dogra, Chartered Accountant, ICAI M. No. 542375 · Updated

In brief

The French parent's home-country obligations depend on Indian figures, so the two calendars need to meet. Typical points: parent-subsidiary regime conditions; controlled foreign company rules. French advisers confirm the home-country side.

What is specific to French companies

The French parent manages parent-subsidiary and CFC conditions, French transfer pricing and, for large groups, Sapin II and vigilance reporting.

  • Parent-subsidiary regime conditions
  • Controlled foreign company rules
  • French transfer pricing documentation
  • Sapin II and duty of vigilance for larger groups

We supply the Indian accounts, tax certificates and transfer pricing data on the parent's timetable.
