COMMON TAX CONCERNS OF EXPATRIATES
Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA)
Signed b/w India and another country so that taxpayers can avoid paying double taxes on their income earned from the source country as well as the residence country.
Social Security
All employees are required to contribute towards statutory social security contribution funds. Withdrawal from such funds is possible at the time of termination of employment.
To exempt international workers from the contributing towards Indian social security funds, India has entered into Social Security Agreements (SSA) and Bilateral Comprehensive Economic Agreements (BCEA) with various countries.
As a result, inbound assignees from countries that have entered into an SSA with India and hold a Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued by their home-country can claim exemption from Indian social security contributions.
