I'm reaching out to you on a Tax clarification to understand NRI Status (60-182 days clause). I am planning to return back to India this month (Feb 2019) and join our India branch office.
Context
- I have been working in Singapore this financial year so far (01-Apr-2018 - Till date i.e., 09-Feb-2019) and came here in March 2016 on employment.
- I have stayed close to 45days during this financial year in India (45days due to personal visits).
- I will earn in India for the remaining days (around 50days and my effective stay would be around 95Days)
- Singapore financial year is from Jan'18 to Dec'18 and i will be filing taxes for it.
Note: The NRI status clause involving 60-182 days is confusing and your inputs on this will be very helpful.
Question
1. If i return back this month to India and join my India branch office, will i be taxed for my Singapore earnings for financial year 2018-19 ?
Thanks,
