How to invest in Capita from India
Step 1
Open your Paasa account
KYC takes a few minutes: PAN, Aadhaar and address proof. Your brokerage account is opened in your own name with Interactive Brokers.
Step 2
Add funds from your Indian bank account
Remit up to $250,000 a year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Your bank converts the rupees to US dollars at its rate on the day you remit, and Interactive Brokers converts the dollars to GBP when you buy.
Step 3
Search CPI and buy
Find Capita by name or by its ticker, CPI, and place your order.
Why invest in Capita from India
What Capita does
Capita plc operates as an outsourcer that supports clients across the public and private sectors in the United Kingdom, India, South Africa, and the rest of Europe. It operates through two divisions: Capita Public Service and Capita Experience. Capita operates in the Specialty Business Services industry within the Industrials sector.
Paasa handles the paperwork
Investing abroad brings paperwork with it: remittance filings, capital gains reporting, foreign asset disclosure. Paasa prepares all of it for you. Your India-ready tax reports arrive at year end, ready to file.
Here's what inheritance rules in the UK mean for your Capita shares.
Shares in UK-incorporated companies are UK-situs assets and fall within UK Inheritance Tax, charged at 40% above the £325,000 threshold for non-residents.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Capita stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Capita (CPI) shares directly through Paasa. Capita is listed on the London Stock Exchange, in the Specialty Business Services industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.
How are Capita dividends taxed for Indian investors?
Capita does not currently pay a dividend, so there is nothing to withhold or declare today. If it starts paying one, the UK levies 0% withholding tax on company dividends paid to non-residents, and dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell Capita shares?
Non-residents are exempt from UK capital gains tax on the disposal of listed shares. In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the GBP/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
What happens to my Capita shares if I pass away?
Shares in UK-incorporated companies are UK-situs assets and fall within UK Inheritance Tax, charged at 40% above the £325,000 threshold for non-residents. The rule looks at everything you hold there, not at Capita alone.
Is there stamp duty when I buy Capita shares?
The UK charges 0.5% Stamp Duty Reserve Tax when buying direct company shares electronically on the LSE; ETFs and UCITS funds do not attract it.
