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?

Yes. Documents and discussions can be handled by email and video call, and we have offices in the USA, Australia and Bahrain.
