Onsite deputation by company, tax paid twice in India and abroad

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

An individual working in Australia on deputation paid income tax in both India and Australia on the same salary, leading to double taxation. Despite being a tax resident in both countries for different periods, the salary components and deductions were reflected in Indian tax documents. The advice provided is to file Form 67 to claim relief for Australian tax paid before filing ITR-2, where salary income should be disclosed separately and tax relief claimed. Assistance with filing the tax return is also available.

16 July 2023 I was sent on deputation by my company to Australia in November, 2022. I spent more than 182 days in India, so I became a tax resident there and as per Australia Financial Year (July-June) cycle, I am tax resident here also. My company paid all my salary from November onwards in Australia bank account though it had two components - India Salary and Australia Salary. Income tax was deducted at source for total salary in Australia and for Indian salary in India too. So I paid double tax on the same income. Now my form 16, AIS and 26AS all contain details including my Indian salary component (which was paid in Aus $) like my total income in India and tax deducted on the same. How can I get my tax refund, How to file my return so as to get this refund?

16 July 2023 First file form 67 to claim tax relief on tax paid in Australia before filing ITR.
Then choose ITR 2 and disclose separately under salary schedule two salary income.
Claim tax relief in ITR 2 schedules FR and TR
