About India Tax Desk for NRIs in Germany
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
German tax residents are taxed on worldwide income, so Indian rent, interest and capital gains must be declared on the German return, with relief for Indian tax under the India–Germany treaty. In India, an NRI is taxed only on Indian income and files an ITR where required. German tax returns are prepared by a licensed Steuerberater; we coordinate the Indian side and provide the figures.
Tax advice in Germany is a regulated profession, so German filings go through partner Steuerberater; our team handles Indian filings, property sales and documentation.
We prepare Indian income summaries in calendar-year format for German returns.
| Germany | Worldwide income for residents |

| Tax year | Calendar year |

Work that the law requires a German Steuerberater to sign or represent is delivered through Indus Tax's partner professionals; our team prepares the records, coordinates the filing and stays your single point of contact.
