Govt of India has entered in agreement for avoidance of double taxation with 57 countries(ADT) sirlanka is also included in this 57....As per agreement income in chargeable in both countries...However the country of residence of the taxpayer allows him credit for the tax charged in other country....so u can adjust against income tax payable....
