09 March 2015 Dear Sirs,

I have been appointed as a Retainer or Representative of a foreign company in India.

They will pay me in forex every month and ready to re-imburse my other expenses like Travel, accommodation, local Coveyance, communication and rental charges to my office.

My nature of work to co-ordinate , represent, provide market inputs and consultancy services etc by working with various IT companies (like Infosys, Wipro etc).

Kindly clarify:

1. Do you I have to pay Income Tax ?
2. How the re-imbursements of expenses are treated in the I Tax?
3. What are all the documents required to get this forex remittance every month so that everything is done legally as per the law.
4. Is there any other tax I need to pay?
5. Is service is applicable?
6. Do I have to inform the RBI about the receipt of remittance received through my bankers.

Apologize for the inconvenience caused to CA forum over this question.

I am a law abiding citizen and would like to comply with the Laws of our country.

with regards,

Siva
