Expatriate Tax Services in India
An expatriate is an individual who lives in a country other than their country of citizenship, usually for temporary work-related purposes. This relocation may be self-initiated or arranged by an employer, such as a university, corporation, non-governmental organization, or government agency.
Expats may work in a foreign country for a short period, typically ranging from 1 to 6 months, or for a longer duration, extending up to 5 years, before returning to their home country after completing their assignments. The country they move to is referred to as the host country.
Those on long-term assignments often receive various benefits and perquisites from their employer while also being subject to tax obligations in the host country. These regulations help maintain a standard of living for expatriates comparable to what they had in their home country.
Taxability of Salary Income for Expatriate Employees in India
Irrespective of residential status, income is deemed to be taxable in India when it is earned as a salary for services rendered in India by expatriate personnel. Along with it, it is mandatory to pay tax deducted at Source (TDS) regardless of the source of revenue.
