Integrity Advisory - Investment Advisory

Enjoy the relaxation in Tax benefits in India:

“ India has an DTAA with many nations. If an NRI based in the US makes short-term capital gains from equity investments in India, he pays 15% tax. However, the rate for such gains is 30% in the US. The investor will need to pay tax only for the difference in rate. This means he gets a deduction on the tax paid in India from his tax payable in the US.”

The Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) or Tax Treaty is essentially bilateral agreements entered into between two countries, in our case, between India and another foreign state. The basic objective is to avoid taxation of income in both the countries . Currently India has comprehensive DTAA or Tax Treaty with a number of countries. Therefor,the NRI will be spared from paying tax twice.

For NRI Investors ,most US-registered mutual fund companies which have India operations do not accept investments from Indians living in the US as they are bound by the cap on the number of non-resident investors they can take.

As NRI, if you want to take advantage of the high growth back home, you can do so by investing in stocks and mutual funds by following some simple steps. Integrity Investment & Wealth Advisory Services can help you in your Investment decisions.
