Cryptocurrency Arbitrage between USA and India exchanges Cryptocurrency Arbitrage between USA and India exchanges

1 year ago

I am a U.S citizen. I was wondering if I could start a business in India to trade cryptocurrencies. My plan is to buy cryptocurrencies on a United States exchange, send them to an Indian exchange and sell them for a profit. As a United States citizen, I cannot access Indian crypto exchanges. That is why I am wondering if a could use a business to access the Indian crypto exchanges. The Indian crypto exchange I would use is CoinDCX.
Here are my questions:
1. Can I trade on CoinDCX using a business?
2. What are the taxes if I profit?
3. What are the fees for converting INR to USD and sending it from my business account to an American account?
4. Do I need a physical address for my business?
5. Do I have to visit India physically?
6. Can you keep records for my business for taxes and regulations?
7. Do I have to create a business in the United States as well? Is there anything I should do in regards to United States taxes and regulations?
8. Can a foreigner start a one person company? If not, can one person start a private LLC? If not, can you provide me with an eligible partner?

A.For investment in crypto outside India, individuals would have to go under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) under FEMA which allows investors to invest only unto $2,50,000 per financial year. 18% is the tax rate on profit. The fees for converting INR to USD is 0.012 dollars. No other person than an Indian citizen or a Resident in India, can register a one person company anywhere in India. A bitcoin address is required that serves as a virtual location where the cryptocurrency can be sent. You will have to pay taxes in the country where you are trading. Capital Gains Tax is required in India. Similarly, you will have to check in the States.
