About Expat Tax Services
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Expat assignments create work on both sides: the employer needs payroll TDS on the full package including allowances and tax paid on the employee's behalf (grossed up), and the employee needs returns that coordinate with the home country.
We advise employers on structuring and payroll, file employees' Indian returns, apply treaty relief, handle PF for international workers, and plan the year of departure.
A foreign national working in India is taxed on salary for work done here, regardless of where it's paid. Residents are taxed on worldwide income, though new arrivals are often 'not ordinarily resident' for the first years. Treaties can exempt short stays under 183 days in some cases, and international workers usually have to join the Indian PF unless covered by a social security agreement.
| Taxable | Salary for services rendered in India |
|---|---|
| Residency | 182-day and 60/365-day tests; often RNOR in early years |
| Treaty relief | Short stays under 183 days in some cases |
| Tax equalisation | Tax borne by employer is itself taxable (grossed up) |
| PF | International workers covered unless an SSA certificate applies |
