FAQs & Answers
Do we need to set up a company in India to work with Indian freelancers?
No.
Foreign companies can work with Indian freelancers or contractors without setting up an Indian entity, provided the engagement is structured correctly.
TaxVic helps you work directly with Indian talent while handling India-side contracts, payment compliance, and documentation.
Is hiring Indian freelancers risky for Permanent Establishment (PE)?
It can be, if the relationship is not structured properly.
PE risk usually arises when:
- The freelancer functions like an employee.
- The foreign company exercises excessive control in India
We help structure engagements to minimise PE exposure and keep the relationship compliant under Indian tax principles.
How are international payments to Indian freelancers reported in India?
Payments received by Indian freelancers are treated as inward remittances under Indian regulations.
We ensure:
- Correct purpose code classification
- Proper documentation for Indian banks
- Clean records for future audits or reviews
You don’t need to manage this yourself—we handle the India-side compliance.
Can Indian freelancers work for foreign companies without GST?
Yes, in many cases.
For export of services, GST may not be applicable or may be zero-rated, subject to conditions.
We review the engagement and guide the correct GST position for the Indian contributor.
This avoids incorrect GST charging or future disputes.
What documents are required to onboard an Indian freelancer correctly?
Typically, this includes:
- A properly structured contractor agreement
- Basic identity and tax details of the Indian contributor
- Payment and invoicing setup
We manage the documentation requirements end-to-end so onboarding remains simple for both sides.
How do foreign companies stay compliant when paying Indian freelancers?
Compliance is ensured by:
- Correct contractor classification
- Proper contracts and IP clauses
- India-compliant payment and documentation flow
TaxVic acts as your India compliance partner, so you don’t need to navigate these rules independently.
How fast can TaxVic set up India-side compliance?
In most cases, initial compliance setup can be completed within a few working days, depending on the engagement structure and information shared.
We prioritise speed without compromising correctness.
What happens if the Indian freelancer is not tax- or GST-compliant?
If not addressed early, this can create future compliance risk.
We help:
- Identify potential gaps
- Guide corrective steps
- Align the engagement to remain compliant going forward
This protects both the foreign company and the Indian contributor.
Do we need to deduct TDS or taxes when paying Indian freelancers?
Generally, foreign companies without an Indian presence are not required to deduct Indian TDS, but the structure matters.
We review your specific setup and confirm the correct tax treatment to avoid over- or under-compliance.
Can everything be handled online?
Yes.
All documentation, reviews, coordination, and ongoing support can be handled remotely.
Our process is designed for remote-first, global teams.
