Self-publishing on Amazon Kdp

Gross income earned from your royalty will be taxable in india
as you already filled form W-8 BEN as per USA taxation reducing the withholding tax to 15% from 30%
you now need to file incometax return as per indian rule
file ITR 3 or 4 and file form 67 to claim the credit mandatory in india
(self employed or says sole proprietorship) if you take as business and as per proffession then other proffession depends upon you

Thanks for the reply. Should i compulsorily submit Form 67 even if i don't want to claim tax credit?

for business, is the business code 9028 correct for sale of books in amazon?

Why  you don't want to claim credit ? 

Those are tds as per Indian laws

Kindly advise me if my choice of business code 9028 for the sale of own books in amazon (self-publishing) is correct or not. Thank you.

No it's incorrect as you are not involved in any retail or  others types of retail business

Show it as proffession  and file ITR

Hello, you gave your PAN number on Amazon KDP during the registration process right?  Is it safe? Can you tell me what they use it for? Do they need it to just send the KDP income details to our tax department? Or do they send the details of the US tax that they deduct at source?

Thank you.

Amazon KDP is a reputed organization and giving PAN during registration process should be safe. Amazon KDP is an American company and any royalty income generated in the United States is subject to their income tax laws. If you fill out the form, they ask for, completely, income generated in the US (not sales in amazon.in) is withheld to the tune of 15%. For that Indian PAN is required for Indian residents.

Thank you for the clarification.
