A person who was unemployed left for employment to a gulf country during the month of November. His salary for Nov -Mar is 5 Lac. There is no tax on his salary in Gulf. He is resident as per IT Act during the year in which he left for employment.
My questions are :
1) When should he pay his self assessment tax on his salary as employer is not deducting TDS ? Should he compute his tax on salary income of 5 months and devide it by 5 months ( Nov-Mar) and pay it every month to IT department?
2) As per IT Act the individual has to pay advance tax of 30%, 60% and 100% by 15th Sept, 15 Dec and 15 Mar respectively. In this case the person had not anticipated his income from salary so he could not have paid 30% of his tax by 15 Sept (he got employment only in Nov). So, what is the remedy?
3) Can he claim HRA exemption u/s 10(13A) for rent paid abroad while in employment abroad?
Kindly answer both questions SEPARATELY and QUOTE Sections.
Thanks.
