hello friends.....

I had a tax query and thought would be the best site to get the answer.
 
I need to file tax return for the yr 2009-10, the last 3 months of which (Jan-Mar 2010) I was in Muscat, Oman counrty (Outside India). So jus wanted to make sure regarding the taxability of my earnings in Muscat before filing my returns in India. Here is his query:
 
- I'm working here in Muscat, Oman on 2 years employment contract, salary is also received in local currency. For purposes of calculating my income tax liability for the year 2009-10, would my income earned in Oman (for Jan-Feb-March 2010 for the yr ending 31/3/2010) be liable to tax in India?
 
How to show this 3 months income in Indian tax return??
 
What does the Tax treaty between India and Oman specify regarding this??
 
 
I would appreciate anyone could help clarify on the above.
