Double taxation query

Hi,

I have a query regarding double taxation. Suppose if someone enrolled in a US-based affiliate marketing online business and he is required to pay 30% tax to the US government through W 8 BEN form for his services provided from India( i.e income received from the USA while working online from India as an affiliate marketer or digital marketer) so does he need to pay tax to the Indian government as well? If yes then what kind of TAX that would be ? is it service tax, Income tax or GST? Since he is already going to pay Tax to the US government then does he need to pay Taxes to the Indian government as well as a double taxation? Please clarify.

Thanks!
Vaibhav

As the person is resident in india and receiving salary from USA, his whole income is taxable in India as per the Income Tax Act.

I think the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement made between India and USA has to be checked to determine the tax rate and accordingly a rebate will be allowed at the time of filing return of income in India.
