I relocated from India to US on Nov,2022. I'm a resident of India for the FY 22-23.
I earned salary in US in dollars for the months starting Nov,2022 to Mar,2023.
I understand that I need to disclose this income in India for FY 22-23.
My total tax(federal + state + misc) paid in US for my US income is around 35%.
However, as per DTAA between US and India I can claim credit only for the federal
tax(Around 20%-22%) that I paid in US and not the state tax and other misc tax
that would be around 12%.
So, I would end up paying additional tax(8%+ and surcharge) in India for my US income.
Isn't it still a double taxation? 8%+ tax on top of 35% tax that I already paid in US.
Could someone please clarify?
