Expatriate Taxation Services

Specialised Tax Compliance Support for Expatriates Working Across Borders

Expatriate taxation services address the unique tax compliance needs of individuals working or residing outside their home country, including determining residential status, taxability of foreign income, and claiming treaty benefits.

Expatriate taxation often requires a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and, for outward remittances, 15CA-15CB filing. Our ITR filing services also support expatriates in filing the correct return each year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is considered an expatriate for tax purposes?

An expatriate for tax purposes is generally an individual living or working outside their home country, whose tax residency and income taxability depend on days of stay and applicable tax laws.

How is residential status determined for expatriates?

Residential status is determined based on the number of days spent in a country during the financial year and preceding years, as prescribed under the applicable tax law.

Do expatriates need to pay tax in both countries?

Not necessarily; Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements between countries often provide relief so that the same income is not taxed twice.

Is foreign income taxable for expatriates?

Taxability of foreign income depends on the individual's residential status and the source of income, with different rules applying to residents and non-residents.

What documents do expatriates need for tax filing?

Documents such as foreign income statements, TRC, salary details, and records of foreign assets are typically required for accurate expatriate tax filing.
