Reverse flipping can trigger tax consequences both in India and the foreign jurisdiction.
Key considerations include capital gains tax on share transfers, applicability of transfer pricing rules, potential tax on asset transfers, and compliance under the Income Tax Act and FEMA.
Choosing the right structure like share swap vs. inbound merger can significantly impact your tax liability. A well-planned strategy ensures minimal tax leakage and maximum regulatory alignment
An inbound merger is when your foreign holding company merges into your Indian entity. It’s a legal process approved by the RD or NCLT and RBI, where all assets, liabilities, and ownership are transferred to the Indian company — making it the new parent.
A share swap means the shareholders of the foreign company exchange their shares for shares in the Indian company. The foreign company may continue to exist, but the ownership shifts to the Indian entity.
Both are common methods used for reverse flipping and the right choice depends on your structure, tax planning, and business goals.
Yes. Valuation, ownership percentages, and shareholding structure must be realigned in accordance with Indian laws.
This requires fair valuation and careful planning to avoid tax or compliance issues.
