Expanding into Europe means working through unfamiliar tax laws, market entry requirements and close regulatory scrutiny, and most firms understand only their home market.

Panchal S K & Associates works in association with StrategyTax.eu, an Estonia-based advisory firm, to offer Indian businesses and investors a coordinated route into Europe, and European businesses a route into India. The association brings together European corporate and tax expertise with Indian chartered accountancy and regulatory practice, so clients can manage structuring and compliance across both jurisdictions through one coordinated team.
