TAX on savings from forign visits

Tax queries 465 views 2 replies

Hi,

I am a IT professional from India and I use to travel in oversees countries for projects basically Europe and North America. On these visits I get foreign currencies (EURO and USD) for my daily expenditure and whatever I can save comes as my personal saving.

I want to know my this saving or income falls in which category, what is the TAX rate in this and what type of form (ITR) I need to fill for this income as my company do not cut TDS on this income?


Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Anand

 


@ Shivang : Thanks a lot for your very prompt response but I am still confused.

Clarification - I gets 100 EURO per-diem allowances / day when I go to France for the work. Suppose I stays there for 40 days, then its 40 X 100=4000 EURO. In that I spends 2000 EURO for food, laundry etc. At the end of the 40 days while coming back to India I am left with 2000 EURO's, my question is regarding those 2000 EURO's which I still have have in my pocket, is that a taxable amount, if yes then whats the rate of tax on that amount and which ITR I should use to file return with that amount. Is it possible to consider that amount in section 80 RRA ( I don't know much about this but people in my office are using that for tax saving's)?

hello,

 

it is known as PDA. Per diem/day  allowance and its not taxable. therefore your company dont deduct tds on tht amount. You can shown it in ITR and calim full deduction of it. Its not taxable.

I hope you dont have owrk permit for any that country or else it wont be PDA. It will be salary.

if you show and bring to india than it will be added to total income adn deduction under section 80rra will be claimed.
