Expatriate & NRI Taxation

International mobility comes with tax complexity. An expatriate posted to India faces questions: Will I be taxed on worldwide income or just Indian-source income? What happens to my foreign bank accounts? If I return home mid-year, how is my tax computed? These are not academic questions—they can swing your effective tax rate by 10% or more. We work with expatriates and their employers to navigate residency rules, claim exemptions, and plan assignments optimally.

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) face a different puzzle. If you work abroad, your Indian-source income (rent, dividends, capital gains from property sales) is still taxable in India. You must also file returns in your country of work, potentially triggering double taxation. We help NRIs optimize their income, claim foreign tax credits under treaty provisions, and file compliant returns with both India and their adopted country. We also guide NRI returns to India, which often triggers unexpected tax liabilities on deemed income and foreign assets.

We maintain ongoing relationships with tax professionals in key jurisdictions (US, UK, Singapore, Gulf States, Australia) to coordinate tax positions, file amended returns when needed, and resolve treaty disputes through Mutual Agreement Procedures. For businesses with expatriate payrolls or international assignments, we provide tax equalization calculations and global tax risk assessments.
