11 September 2013 Dear Anonymous,

KPO is an entity providing knowledge related processes to companies/individuals but it is not at all necessary that they provide such services outside India.

The taxability of a KPO shall depend on the source and type of income. Therefore it shall be totally wrong to say that KPOs are 100% tax free.

Further, if I am not mistaken, KPO are supposed to be registered with several authorities.

So, conservative advise, please work on tax planning and leave tax evasion to crooks.
