Tax Calculation for NRI


This query is : Resolved 

29 August 2009 I am a Non-Resident Indian and was out of INDIA for more than 180 days during the Previous Year. I have earned Income inside INDIA for which TDS was deducted and I am having Income outside INDIA also. The Income is not brought into INDIA.....

Advise me on my Income Tax return filing and whether i have to pay tax on the income earned outside INDIA

29 August 2009 As per Section 5 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, following income only of Non-Resident shall be taxable in India.

i) Income received or deemed to be received in India. and

ii) Income accruing or arising or deemed to accrue or arise in India.

In view of the above section income earned outside India will not be taxable in India and hence you need not to pay tax on that income in India.

As regards Income Tax Return filing is concerned, If your Total Indian income exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income tax, then you have to file Income Tax return - Sec. 139(1).

31 August 2009 Regarding the Income earned outside INDIA, whether it has to be shown in the books or while filing return of Income...
If i bring the income earned outside India into India... in that case do i need to pay Tax on the income earned outside India

31 August 2009 No, you are not required to show income earned outside India in your Income Tax return.

And you need not to pay any tax on income earned outside India and brought to India.

31 August 2009 i dont have to pay any tax when i bring those profits into INDIA

20 September 2009 Yes, you are right....

25 September 2009 Dear Sir
The profit is exempted from tax in the country it is earned

Do we have to pay Tax here for that

25 September 2009 As stated above, only following income will be taxable in the hands of Non-Resident:

i) Income received or deemed to be received in India. and

ii) Income accruing or arising or deemed to accrue or arise in India.

Therefore, if you earn any income outside India let it be exempt in such foreign country shall not be taxable in India...
