London (October 9, 2006) -- India 's once highly complex tax structure – with overall rates high combined with tax incentives to encourage corporate activity in government-preferred activities – has undergone a transformation. Now overseeing the world's fourth largest economy (predicted to become the third largest by 2032) the Indian government is keen to attract hi-tech, high-value industry. Many tax concessions and incentives have been removed. The overall tax rate has tumbled from 65% to 30%. Outsourcing, rapid expansion of the Indian software industry, new tax planning opportunities – and the fact that India is itself a formidable market in its own right - have all helped to make India a realistic, attractive business location.

Coverage includes: Tax; Economic, tax and regulatory issues; Setting up a business in India/tax structuring; Transfer pricing; M&A; Outsourcing; Infrastructure project finance; Intellectual property.
