Frequently Asked Questions
How is an expatriate's residential status decided?
Residential status depends on the number of days of physical presence in India over the relevant periods. It determines whether only Indian income or global income is taxable.
Will an expatriate be taxed twice on the same income?
Not if treaty relief is claimed correctly. Using the relevant DTAA and supporting documents, we help avoid double taxation on the same income.
What income must a foreign national in India report?
It depends on residential status. A resident may need to report global income, while a non-resident is generally taxed only on income earned or received in India.
Do Indian employees moving abroad need expat tax support?
Yes. Their residential status, foreign salary, and dual-country obligations need careful handling to stay compliant and avoid double taxation.
Can you handle expat payroll compliance for companies?
Yes. We support employers with expatriate payroll, withholding, and compliance, alongside individual return filing.
