CA services & compliance in Abu Dhabi

Key compliance details for Abu Dhabi-based tax exemption clients and businesses.

Indian income while living abroad

Living in Abu Dhabi doesn't end your Indian tax position: rent, interest, capital gains and other income earned in India is taxed in India, and may need an Indian return even when tax has been deducted.

Relief from double taxation

Where India has a tax treaty (DTAA) with your country of residence, treaty rates apply once you give a Tax Residency Certificate and Form 10F. We check whether a treaty covers your income and which relief route applies.

Moving money out of India

Remittances from an NRO account need Form 15CA, and a CA's Form 15CB above the prescribed limits. NRIs can repatriate up to USD 1 million a financial year from NRO balances once tax is paid.
