India-US Tax Advisory for NRIs and Indian Founders
If you’re navigating tax obligations in both India and the US, whether as an NRI, an Indian founder with a US entity, or a US-based individual with income or assets in India, you need an advisor who genuinely understands both systems, not just one with a passing familiarity with the other.

I've worked with Add-wise Tax for many years and they have consistently provided expert level guidance on all tax and business related matters. As my company has scaled from a little more than 10 people to more than 100 a few years later, Sid Jain and Add-wise Tax have been critical in that growth. I would highly recommend Add-wise Tax.

FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most from clients.
Does an Indian resident who owns a US LLC need to file US taxes?
In most cases, yes. Owning a US LLC typically creates US filing obligations regardless of where the owner lives, and specific forms like 5472 often apply to foreign-owned entities.
What is the US-India tax treaty, and how does it help avoid double taxation?
The US-India tax treaty outlines rules for how certain income is taxed when it could otherwise be taxed by both countries, and provides mechanisms like foreign tax credits to reduce or eliminate double taxation.
How does FEMA affect Indian founders setting up a US entity?
FEMA governs how Indian residents can invest or hold interests abroad, and it interacts with US filing requirements in ways that are easy to overlook without advisors who understand both systems.
As an NRI, do I need to report my US income to Indian tax authorities too?
Depending on your residential status under Indian tax law, US income may need to be reported in India as well, with the tax treaty helping to prevent that income from being taxed twice.
Can you help with US tax implications when repatriating funds from an Indian business?
Yes, we help evaluate the US tax treatment of funds moving between Indian and US entities or accounts, which is a common point of confusion for founders operating in both countries.
