Learn MoreDouble Taxation Avoidance Agreements
Double taxation is attracted when a NRI is liable for tax in country of his residence (say Canada) on his worldwide income as well as in the source country (say India) on the income accruing or arising in India.
Double taxation on same income is attracted on account of the tax levied by the country in which income is earned (commonly known as “source country”) and if person who has earned the income is resident of another country then the tax is levied by home state (commonly known as “residence country”). For e.g. a NRI is resident of Canada and has a source of income in India, the NRI is liable to pay tax on income in the source country i.e. India and also in the residence country i.e. Canada.
A Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) is executed by both countries to mitigate the double or larger tax in the above situation and also to promote and foster economic trade and investment between the two countries.
