International Law

Double Tax Avoidance Agreement
DTAA is a kind of an agreement which is made between India and other countries. As per this agreement, an individual earning an income in another country and still being a resident of different country does not have to pay taxes twice on same income.
For example, if you are an Indian resident and have an income earned in the Canada because of the existence of your business in the Canada, you would have to pay tax in the Canada on the income generated there as well as in India where you file your tax returns. But, when the DTAA is in effect, you would have to pay taxes only in one country, not both. Alternatively, in case your income is chargeable to tax in both countries, then taxes paid in one country will be allowed as a credit in the other country as per the provisions of DTAAs.
