/ Sector-specific issues for Web3 / Crypto Startups

Where general-purpose CA misses depth.

Web3 / Crypto Startups face specific tax + regulatory issues that general-purpose CA often doesn't address well. Our specialist practice covers:

Section 115BBH 30% VDA tax: No loss offset; no deduction except cost. Impacts token airdrops, staking, trading, exchange fees.
Section 194S 1% TDS on crypto transfer: Exchange / crypto service provider responsibility.
Offshore structuring (Dubai / Singapore / Switzerland): Many Indian Web3 startups structure offshore to avoid Section 115BBH / 194S friction. FEMA ODI compliance + Section 2(22)(e) deemed dividend risk.
CARF (Crypto Asset Reporting Framework): Global automatic exchange of information coming online; India implementation pending.
Token issuance + ICO compliance: Securities / commodity classification; no formal framework in India yet; SEBI considering.
GST on crypto services (18%): Trading fees, exchange services, staking rewards - 18% GST.
Section 16 DPDP + cross-border crypto data: Crypto wallet + transaction data flows subject to DPDP.
Delaware C-Corp HQ vs Dubai VARA licensed vs Singapore VCC: Jurisdictional choice for Web3 HQ.
