Every NRI i.e Non Resident Indian who has earned income in India is required to pay taxes on such income. The income may be on rendering some services or on sale of some assets located in India. Any excess TDS that may have been deducted can also be claimed as refund only if assessee files return within due date.
Handling complex cases where foreign income is involved requires expert assistance. ClearTax assigns a chartered accountant to you after payment. The CA contacts you and prepares your return. Finally, the CA e-files the income tax return after your review.
Most of the support and assistance is offered over email. You can always schedule a phone call / Skype call with the CA at a time that’s convenient to you as per your time zone.
Your residential status for Income Tax purposes is based on the number of days you spend within India. If you are a foreign national living within India, you may be considered a ‘Resident Indian’ for tax purposes, and similarly if you are an Indian living abroad, you might be considered a Non-Resident Indian (NRI).
Typically, if you are in India for 182 days or more during that financial year, you will be considered a resident. There are a few more conditions associated with this. Check your residential status here.
