🚨 Did you know you might be paying *more* TDS than you should on Indian invoices?

When an Indian company pays you professional fees (consulting, speaking engagements, etc.), they deduct TDS under **Section 195** of the Income Tax Act. But here’s the catch: if your home country’s **DTAA** (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) with India offers a *lower tax rate*, you could be overpaying!

**How to fix it:**
1️⃣ Submit your PAN to the payer *before* they deduct TDS.
2️⃣ Ask them to adjust the rate using your DTAA entitlement.
3️⃣ File a refund claim with CBDT if excess TDS was deducted.

Don’t let confusion cost you! Our Indian CAs can help you review invoices, DTAA benefits, and plan for refunds.

Ever wondered how to report income earned from India while living abroad? 🌍💼 For NRIs, navigating taxes on Indian-sourced service income (like a salary for working in India or managing local property) can feel overwhelming. While income earned *outside* India stays clear of India’s tax net, any earnings *from India*—rent, interest from NRO accounts, or even professional fees—fall squarely under the Income Tax Act.

The catch? Rules tighten when NRIs return home or juggle multiple income streams. Deductions, DTAA benefits, and TDS on payments like rent or interest add layers to the process.

Need clarity? Our Indian CAs break it down during **WhatsApp or video consultations**, tailoring advice to your unique situation. Don’t let complexity hold you back—plan wisely and stay compliant.

🚨 Double taxation trap: Did you know Indian TDS certificates (Form 16A) can help you *avoid* paying extra taxes in the US?

When you earn income in India (rentals, FDs, dividends), TDS is deducted upfront under Section 195. This tax isn’t just paperwork—it’s your proof of payment to the IRS when claiming foreign tax credits. Without Form 16A, you might end up paying *twice*: once to India, once to the US.

Filing an Indian ITR is key to reconciling this, but many NRIs overlook the need to *track and retain* these TDS records. Pro tip: Cross-check your Annual Information Statement (AIS) with your own records to ensure accuracy.

Still unsure? Book a WhatsApp or video consultation with our CAs to walk through your specific scenario.

This means you report the income in both countries but *don’t actually pay twice*.

Still unsure how to file or claim credits? Let’s chat! Our Indian CAs offer **WhatsApp or video consultations** to simplify cross-border taxes.

Did you know your dividend tax *could* be lower? Here's how:

When you earn dividends in India, the standard TDS is 20% (plus surcharge/cess). But if your home country has a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with India, you *might* qualify for a **reduced rate**—often 10% or 15%. For example, under the India-Canada DTAA, if you hold **at least 10% of shares**, dividend tax stays at 15%.

To claim this, you may need to submit Form 10F (proof of DTAA eligibility) and a tax residency certificate. This applies to **dividends, capital gains, and even rental income** in some cases!

Still unsure how this works for you? A quick **WhatsApp or video consultation** with our qualified CAs can clarify your options.
