Tax treatment - foreign citizen

This query is : Resolved 

17 January 2012 Mr. XYZ is a Foreign Citizen who comes to India for a Project. He has been in India for more than 182 days during F.Y 2011-12. He receives $ 7000 per month as Professional Fees for the Project Work done in India, his Professional Fees are directly credited in to his Bank A/c which is in U.S.A. He does not have any Bank A/c in India. He incurs all his expenses like Travelling, Mobile etc. through his credit card.
1) What is the Tax Treatment in case of the above scenario?
2) If the Income is taxable, then can the Expenses incurred be claimed against the Professional Income?

Regards,
Devendra Kulkarni

17 January 2012 His income is taxable in India as the same has been accrued and arisen in India.

He is eligible to deduct the expenditure incurred in connection with his professional income in India.
.


17 January 2012 Is there any Case Law which I can refer to?

20 February 2012 There is no need for case law when the charging section is clear. Here the foreigner may also need to charge and deposit service tax for the services rendered in India.

The Indian party needs to deduct TDS @ 20% in case the foreigner doesn't have PAN.
