Hi,

I have got an offer from a company that is based in UAE .The role I am offered is primarily based out of Mumbai but on UAE payroll ie the salery will be credited into an UAE bank account.

As the job is said to be primarily based out of Mumbai but on UAE payroll, so does that mean that the entire amount will be tax free?I heard something like the employee should spend atleast more than 183 days in UAE so that the salary becomes tax free in India.Please clarify this.Also the UAE firm does not have a legal entity in India.

Also I plan to remit the amount periodically from UAE bank account to my Indian bank's savings account.Any tax implications here?

Kindly advise on the above questions.

 

Regards,

Nik
