DTAA with US - Interest & Dividend

905 views 1 replies

Hello,

For an NRI (U.S. citizen), my understanding is that the tax rate on interest income is 15% and on dividends is 25% as per the DTAA.

Is my understanding correct?

If yes, how should these incomes be disclosed in ITR-2 so that the applicable 15% / 25% tax rates can be claimed?

For an NRI (U.S.Citizen), under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and the U.S., the tax rates you mentioned are generally correct:

Interest income: 15%

Dividends : 25%

To disclose these incomes in ITR-2 and claim the appliable tax rates under DTAA;

  1. Report the interest and dividend incomes in the relevant sections of ITR-2.
  2. Claim the benefit of DTAA in the "Details of income from outside India" section or where applicable.
  3. Ensure you have the necessary documents to support the DTAA benefit claim.
