PFIC-Compliant India Equity Advisory for US Tax Residents

For US tax residents, Indian Mutual Funds, ETFs, and PMS structures are classified by the IRS as Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFICs) which trigger punitive tax treatment.

  • Wizemonk provides 100% Direct Equity Architecture: We construct bespoke portfolios composed exclusively of individual listed Indian stocks. Direct equities are fundamentally exempt from PFIC classification.
  • Standard Capital Gains Treatment: Your gains retain favorable long-term capital gains tax rates under the US Internal Revenue Code rather than confiscatory PFIC penalties.
  • Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) Alignment: Indian capital gains taxes (12.5% LTCG / 20% STCG) are systematically tracked to facilitate foreign tax credits via IRS Form 1116 under the India-US Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).
  • Transparent Annual Reporting: We supply calendar-year realized gain/loss statements and conversion-ready transaction records to streamline your CPA’s filing.
