The definition of "non-resident" and other tax-related provisions are primarily governed by the Income Tax Act, 1961 in India. However, the **Direct Taxes Code (DTC)** was a proposed piece of legislation aimed at simplifying and consolidating direct taxes, but it never became law.
Instead, there have been various amendments to the Income Tax Act over the years to address issues that the DTC aimed to tackle. Thus, the DTC itself does not apply, but the changes in definitions and rules related to non-residents are based on amendments to the Income Tax Act.
### **Recent Amendments to Non-Resident Definition**
**1. **Income Tax Act Amendments**
Amendments to the definition of a non-resident are typically made through Finance Acts, which update the Income Tax Act each financial year. The most recent changes are found in the Finance Act, 2021, and prior acts. Key changes often include updates on residency criteria, taxation of global income, and other related provisions.
**2. **Finance Act, 2021**
As per the Finance Act, 2021, the following key changes were introduced:
- **Definition of Residential Status:** The Finance Act, 2021, introduced changes that affect the residential status criteria, particularly for individuals who are not ordinarily residents. The criteria are designed to provide clarity and address complexities arising from previous definitions.
### **Applicability**
- **Effective Date:** Any amendments made by the Finance Act become applicable from the financial year starting on April 1 of the year in which the Act is enacted. For instance, amendments in the Finance Act, 2021, are applicable from the financial year 2021-22 onwards.
### **For Your Query**
If you’re referring to any specific amendment or change in the definition of non-residents beyond what was included in the Finance Act of a particular year, you would need to check the latest Finance Act or any specific notifications issued by the Income Tax Department.
To ensure compliance and accuracy:
1. **Review the Latest Finance Act:** Check the latest Finance Act applicable for the financial year in question.
2. **Consult Professional Guidance:** For specific applications and clarifications, especially for complex cases, consulting with a tax professional or legal expert is advisable.
### **Summary**
- **DTC Amendment:** The Direct Taxes Code itself does not apply, but relevant provisions and changes have been incorporated into the Income Tax Act through amendments in various Finance Acts.
- **Effective Date for Amendments:** Generally, amendments are effective from April 1 of the relevant financial year.
For accurate and up-to-date information, always refer to the latest Finance Act and official notifications from the Income Tax Department.
