Frequently asked questions
How is an NRI taxed in India?
A non-resident is generally taxed in India on income that is received in India or arises in India. The exact position depends on residential status and any tax treaty.
Do I need a chartered accountant to remit money abroad?
Many foreign remittances need a certificate from a chartered accountant along with a declaration to the bank. We prepare the paperwork.
Can you work with me from overseas?
