How Can a UK-Based NRI Avoid Double Taxation?
Double taxation means where an NRI is subjected to double taxation- once in India and also again in the country where they are residing. For a Non-resident Indian based in UK, can be spared by paying double Taxes. India has a Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with the UK.
For suppose, NRIs based in the UK makes STCGs (Short Term Capital Gains) from equity investments in India, they pay 15 percent tax in India. But, if the rate for such gains is 25 percent in the UK, investors will have to pay the tax only for the difference in rate in UK.
This means that the investors get a Deduction on the tax paid in India from their tax payable in the UK.
