Why do so many Indian Startups register in Singapore?… PhonePe, Flipkart, InMobi…


πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Tax Saving for VC Investors

The capital gains tax in India is 15-20%, and in Singapore, is zero!

As most VCs, create their returns by selling shares in companies, it’s the capital gains they get taxed on and not business profits or dividends.

This has a direct impact on their returns on the fund and the structure is a coupling of several steps - such as a Trust registered in Mauritius investing into startups, selling the shares, and transferring the money to their investors across the world.

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Tax Savings on Profitable Companies

The Income Tax rate on Indian companies is 25-30%, but in Singapore is ~17% only

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Political Risk, IP Laws and Arbitration

Singapore is in the top 5 countries in the world in the ease of business rankings, and is the most politically stable government which always takes a neutral stand in international affairs

The Intellectual Property protection laws in Singapore are highly robust compared to India, as are arbitration laws

Both of the above are lagging far behind in India

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Raising Capital from China

If you raise money from Chinese investors, you have to go for a special approval from the RBI in India. There’s no such requirement in Singapore

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Ecosystem and SE Asia HO

If you decide to penetrate the South East Asia market with your product, then the investors focusing on those markets are headquartered in Singapore and a lot of times would require you to set up a SG HO and transfer the IP to the SG entity.

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Despite all of the above, why must you register in India instead

- While SG has lower taxes on the face of it, if your primary business is in India, the Indian tax laws will force your investors to pay taxes in India even though they are foreign parties who have bought and sold shares of a Singapore entity

- While it may seem like it’s easy to set up a SG company online, opening a bank account in SG from India is a massive pain. So you should only register in SG if you plan to open actual operations there

- You can transfer the intellectual property to Singapore on the insistence of your investors, but you’ll still have to keep your Indian entity to hire employees and run all operations. It’s not always as easy, and not always even necessary.

- Despite whatever people say, I think the Indian ecosystem has grown to be quite mature and you don’t need to go to international markets to only raise equity funding. If it’s for business operations, then of course, go and cast your net far and wide

Anyway, I’ve given frameworks on how to decide where to incorporate your company… Estonia, Delaware USA, Dubai and Singapore for Indian startups in my book, Daily Coffee & Startup Fundraising.

It’s the #3 book on the Bestsellers list for Entrepreneurship on Amazon :)

In the picture, that’s me with my wonderful company in Singapore :D
