The EB-5 Program has emerged as a sought-after route for investors aiming for U.S. permanent residency. However, it’s accompanied by complex tax responsibilities in both the U.S. and investors’ home countries, like India. In this article, Quantum Global delves into essential tax considerations, ensuring EB-5 investors are well-informed.
U.S. Tax Considerations for EB-5 Investors:
- Income Tax Essentials: Income from investments, such as capital gains, dividends, and interest, is subject to federal and state income taxes. Understanding the U.S. tax system is critical for minimizing tax liabilities.
- Impact of EB-5 Job Creation: To qualify for the EB-5 program, investors are required to create or preserve a minimum number of jobs. Understand how the investment’s structure influences tax obligations, such as direct investment in a new commercial enterprise or through a regional centre. It is crucial to assess the impact of job creation on the investor’s tax liability.
- Estate Tax Planning: Investors should also be mindful of U.S. estate tax, which may apply to global assets above the exemption threshold. Estate planning becomes critical in reducing prospective tax liabilities for the investor and their beneficiaries.

Indian Tax Considerations for EB-5 Investors:
- Residential Status and Global Income: Indian tax residents are taxed on their global income, including income earned in the U.S. through the EB-5 investment. Grasping India’s residential status rules on worldwide income is key to effective tax planning.
- Mandatory Foreign Asset Reporting: Indian residents are required to report their foreign assets, including investments in the U.S., to the Indian tax authorities. EB-5 investors must comply with Indian regulations on foreign investments to safeguard against penalties.
- Utilizing Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA): EB-5 investors can benefit from the India-U.S. DTAA to avoid double taxation. These agreements provide mechanisms to alleviate the tax burden by offering credits or exemptions
