TAxability of Non Resident

Dear All,

A Non-Resident having Term Deposit in Nationalised bank. Amount brought in foreign currency.

and he has other income of Short Term Capital Gain (U/s.111A - 15%)..

 

TDS deducted on STCG at 15% under saction 195.

 

I have two issues:

1.   Whether interest earned on FD are taxable to non resident?

2.   Can STCG income(Special Rate Income) can be shifted to Basic Exemption limit of Rs.160000/- in case of NR also?

 

Reply with relevent saction or other things..

Thanx

yes interest is taxable.........

1. Yes its chargeable to tax @ 20%

2.No proviso to section 111A does not applicable on Non-Resident.

Dear linesh,

 

If 20% tax should be there then why bank never deduct TDS under section 195 in case of Non-Resident in NRE Deposit.

As section 195 applies to any Sum

Dear Biraj,

Interest on NRE A/c is Exempt U/s 10(4)(ii).

Can STCG income(Special Rate Income) can be shifted to Basic Exemption limit of Rs.160000/- in case of NR also? 

No.

This income is liable to be taxed at Special Rates. 

Only residents are allowed to do so.
