13 July 2012 Sir,

A Trading company in UAE having a HUF firm as partner OR wholly owned and the karta of the HUF firm living in India who has no involvement in the daily affairs. This company is professionally managed by a NRI Indian.

Can the HUF firm be classified as NRI? and income derived from this company being sent to India be tax free?

Please clarify & oblige.

13 July 2012 In case of an HUF, the control and management of affairs, normally vests in the Karta. Since Karta has been resident in India, it implies that control and management of the affairs was not situated wholly outside India. In my view, the Income will attract tax in India. However, tax credit may be taken by the HUF in accordance with the DTAT between UAE and India.

13 July 2012 Sir,

Thank you for the quick response, UAE has NIL tax. What Will the DTTA effect be?

Would that mean, the remittance will be taxed in INDIA

However, you may wait for other opinions also.

11 December 2012 RBI doesn't allow HUF to open a company outside India in normal cases.

As regards the tax ability the income shall be completely taxable in India if the HUF has partial control and management in India.
