Indian businesses and families with overseas interests can now seek advice in those markets through firms working directly with Aurtus.
The WTS membership will also give international groups investing in or operating in India with access to Aurtus through member firms in their home markets. Following which, Aurtus can provide advice on Indian tax, transfer pricing, M&A, and regulations.
WTS Global said Aurtus’ practice focuses on tax and regulatory advice, as well as implementation support, in line with WTS Global’s non-audit model.
It has offices in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Ahmedabad, and GIFT City in India.
The firm has more than 75 professionals, mainly chartered accountants and lawyers, who advise Indian and international businesses, families, and investors on direct and indirect tax, transfer pricing, M&A tax, private client matters, and regulatory issues.
Aurtus founder and CEO Vishal Gada said: “We founded Aurtus in 2020 with a clear purpose: to pair thoughtful, research-led tax advice with practical implementation.
“Becoming part of WTS Global extends that purpose across borders and gives our people and future talent the opportunity to develop a global mindset, collaborate with colleagues around the world and grow through new experiences.”
In August this year, WTS UK appointed Sharmila Sanmugam as a partner.
Sanmugam joined the firm with more than 15 years of experience in both in-house and advisory roles, with expertise in global tax compliance, tax governance, transfer pricing, indirect taxes and multinational tax transformation.
