One of the most frequently asked questions by NRIs is whether they have to pay taxes in both India and their country of residence. This is known as double taxation, and it can lead to a significant financial burden for NRIs. However, in most cases, NRIs do not have to pay taxes in both countries.

For instance, if the tax rate in India is 20%, and in the UK, it is 30%, you will pay 20% tax in India and 10% tax in the UK. The DTAA agreement may differ depending on the country, and we will provide detailed information on this in another blog.

It is also essential to note that there is a tax deduction at source (TDS) on the sale of property in India. If you wish to avoid TDS, you can apply for a lower TDS deduction by filing Form 13 online. We will provide a detailed procedure for filing Form 13 to get a lower tax deduction rate in another blog.
