How NITI Aayog’s Proposal Impacts Cross-Border Investments

As India moves toward greater transparency and certainty in international taxation, one question arises: how will these reforms reshape cross-border investments and the way foreign enterprises operate here? At AKM Global, we are closely tracking these developments to help you understand their implications for your business.
A recent development worth noting is NITI Aayog’s Working Paper on “Enhancing Certainty, Transparency and Uniformity in Permanent Establishment and Profit Attribution for Foreign Investors in India.”
The paper proposes a comprehensive reform framework designed to:

Reduce disputes improve tax certainty for multinational enterprises,
-
Introduce an optional, formula-based presumptive taxation regime, and
-
Shift from subjective attribution methods to a more transparent and objective approach for determining taxable income of foreign investors in India.
