Nri returning to india in august'15

Hi there, I have a question regarding income tax payment in India. I am currently based in Singapore since 2011 and am planning to return to India in August 2015 for good. My salary in Singapore will be taxed from January'15 to July'15 . However when I return to India, I will be a resident for financial year Apr 2015 - Mar 2016 as I would have completed 182 days in the financial year. Will my salary in Singapore from April'15 to July'15 be taxed in India again or is there a way to avoid this double taxation? Thanks in advance!

you will have to include the salary received in Singapore from April 15 to August 15 in Indian tax return. However, you can claim credit for taxes paid in Singapore under double taxation avoidance agreement provisions.

Dear Sir

 

If your Residential status is R-OR than income accrued or Arise worldwide will be taxed in India.

Meaning of "R-OR"  

As per section 6(1) of income tax act 1961 

(a) If he/she is in India in Previous Year for a period of 182 Days or More

OR

(b) And he/she is in India for a period of 365 days within 4 yrs immediately preceding the assessment year.

As per section 6(6) of income tax act 1961

(a) A person who has been resident 2 times out of 10 yrs immediately preceding the previous year

And

(b) Has been in India for a Period of 730 days during the 7 yrs immediately preceding the previous year

 

- If a person stisfy  both the conditions above mentioned than income earned worldwide     will be taxed in India

- If a person stify only first condition than Income earned outside India shall not be taxed   in India.
