goGlobal CLINIC - NAASCOM July 20, 2007

As part of NASSCOM's Emerging Companies Forum – it’s our pleasure to announce the first goGlobal CLINIC, covering topics relevant to emerging companies planning to go global. There is an increasing need for emerging IT companies (SMEs) to focus on export opportunities. Emerging Companies are becoming a significant candidate for foreign investments and technology transfers. The new challenges of globalization faced by the SME sector are best met by the SME management updating itself with the nuances of global business practices. International Holding Companies are an integral part of the global expansion of all businesses. The goGlobal CLINICS aim to assist the Emerging Companies’ management in achieving these objectives.
The first goGlobal CLINIC will focus on:
International Holding Company (IHC) - Outbound and Inbound Investments from and into India
An International Holding Company (IHC) is usually owned offshore and holds shares in foreign subsidiaries. For a country to be an international holding company location, it must have a number of favorable tax aspects.
goGlobal CLINIC, on IHC will provide you an overview of the factors that need to be considered while locating a foreign holding company.

The Clinic will address issues relating to –

Using foreign IHC for foreign acquisitions
Using foreign IHC for inbound investments
The Limitation on Benefits clause
Foreign listing
