Double Taxation Avoidance stop paying tax on the same income twice.
End-to-end DTAA support — treaty interpretation, residency tie-breaker, Tax Residency Certificate, Form 10F, Form 67, and reduced withholding tax claims under India's tax treaties with over 90 countries.
India has signed comprehensive Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements with more than 90 countries. These treaties allocate taxing rights between countries on specific types of income — salary, interest, dividends, royalties, capital gains, and business profits — and prevent the same income from being taxed twice.
DTAA benefits are not automatic. They have to be actively claimed using a Tax Residency Certificate from the other country, Form 10F filed on the Indian portal, and the right article of the treaty cited in the return or before the withholding agent. A missing TRC alone can lead to denial of the entire benefit.
We help NRIs, expats, foreign companies, and Indian residents claim DTAA benefits the right way — beneficial tax rates on interest and royalty, foreign tax credit, capital gains relief, and tie-breaker positions when residency is disputed between two countries.
