India usa dtaa foreign income resident status india

Check the status of the assessee. If NRI or RNOR, no tax liability over any income earned outside India.

For ROR, all the global income earned is taxable as per Indian IT act, subject to deduction as per DTAA.

Let him get verification from seniors, before any step forward.

Thank you for reply sir .

The status of assessee is resident in both India  and USA as per residency test in respective tax financial year. Assessee is an Indian  citizen.

The confusion is what is considered as foreign income is not clearly defined. Is it gross foreign income earned before foreign deduction or Net foreign Income after foreign deductions.

Taxes in USA are paid on Taxable Foreign income which is significantly lower than gross foreign income.

For Example:

Monthly Payslip  of foreign income is like

Gross Income:$5000

Non taxable Deductibles:$600 part of it is deposited in pension account and rest of amount is paid towards medical insurance plan

Tax on Net Income: $4400 ($5000-$600) =$1400 (this tax includes: Federal Tax, State Tax, Medicare Tax, Social Security Tax)

Net Income in hand:$3000

so for 8 months in USA the assesse received-3000*8=$24,000 in account.

How ever the tax at year end in USA is calculated as follows:

Gross Income for 8 months is- 8* $5000 = $40,000

 Income After monthly deductible: $40,000 - 8*$600 = $35,200

Income after standard deductions, other deductions is   $35,200 - $10000= $25,200

Now Taxable Income  =$25,200

Let us assume Federal tax is 10% then Tax Paid = 10% of $25,200  =  $2520

and State tax is 8% then State Tax Paid is = 8% of $25,200= $2016

Now assesse returned to India and earned income in India for 7 Months in India in form of  salary.

Now the question is what should be reported as foreign income:$40000 (Gross foreign Income)  or 35200 (Income after Monthly Deductible) or 25200 (taxable Income)  when calculating global income( foreign income + india income).
