VC funds that invest in tech start-ups typically run for 10 years with an option to extend for two years — at which point their backers expect a return on investment, without which they can force a sale of portfolio companies or shut them down.

Even as the country has tried to lure global businesses keen to diversify into a fast-growing emerging market and, amid rising geopolitical tensions, away from China, many multinational companies are throwing in the towel. Notable departures over the past couple of years include Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank; Ford, an American carmaker; Holcim, a Swiss cement giant; and Metro, a German retailer. Disney is negotiating the sale of all or part of its streaming business. On November 24th Berkshire Hathaway, a $780bn American investment Goliath, offloaded its 2.5% stake in Paytm, an Indian payments processor. These are only the latest companies to call it quits. Inbound foreign direct investment has been flat since 2018. Although nearly 11,000 foreign firms entered India between 2014 and 2021, a government report found that 2,783 had left or closed in that period—a dispiritingly high number for a supposedly fast-charging economy. Some were probably put off by practical challenges, such as clogged roads, unbreathable air and patchy telecoms networks. Some no doubt balked at the legal obstacles to hiring workers, buying land or paying the right taxes. Some may simply have felt unwelcome; local bureaucrats and business leaders often see foreigners as a direct threat to domestic interests. Crucially, many fared less well than home-grown rivals. According to BCG, a consultancy, their gross operating margins average 12%, against 15% for Indian firms. When confronted by India’s reality, as opposed to its potential, plenty of excited foreign chief executives quickly find themselves “disabused”, sighs a consulting boss.

While the resulting synergies, diversification, and income streams can be a boon in many ways, they can also pose unique challenges when it comes to tax planning. For entrepreneurs with multiple income streams, it can be difficult to know how to properly report and pay taxes. Navigating potential tax-saving techniques can be even more mystifying. However, with the right tax strategies in place, you can minimize your tax burden while maximizing your income. Understanding the difference between active and passive income--and how each is taxed--is crucial for entrepreneurs with multiple income streams. Active income, such as wages and salaries, is taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Passive income, on the other hand, such as rental income, interest, royalties, or income from a limited partnership, may be taxed at a lower rate. In some cases, entrepreneurs may be able to structure their income streams to maximize passive income and reduce their overall tax burden. When considering an expansion or new venture, you may want to consult an accountant to determine the most tax-friendly way to add another revenue stream. Continued here
