My company provides RSUs.  I took help of taxbuddy to file tax. I think you need to file ITR 2. 
  
  
 While selling they usually withhold tax part , so you don’t need to pay tax here.

Income from foreign assets is ITR-3, right?

Hi community, really love the support I get from folks here. Thanks a lot. Here is another thing I need some opinions on.

I did an internship last year and there was some TDS deducted. That was my only source of main income. I checked the Form26AS and yes it was present along with some TDS on my MF investment and all.

Now this is my first time filing ITR, how should I go approach?

Get a CA? If yes, how to contact one? How much do they usually charge?

File by myself?

Or any tips you have would be really appreciated. You can also share your experience. 

Thank you 😊.

Filing ITR

I own stocks of a previous employer which is US-based. I did not explicitly disclose Foreign Assets in any of my previous year returns, as I was not aware of it and the CAs on Cleartax never informed me of it. I am filing taxes myself this year and while doing so, came across this requirement. I am including assets purchased last year in this tax-filing season. What can I now do to report previous foreign assets that I got as part of my previous company CTC in previous years? Can I report now? Or is the schedule FA only for the duration of 2023 only?

Hi,

Here's a quick summary for taxation of RSU's.
This is for employees who get stocks of their parent companies listed abroad as part of their salary package.

The RSU are taxed after clubbing with the salary as a perquisite and thereafter in Capital gains arising on account of holding such shares.

At the time of grant: No tax liability.

At the time of vesting: The  fair market value of the share on the date of vesting is taxed at the slab rate by the employer by selling the shares to cover the tax liability.
Example - If you have 10 RSU vested, your employer will sell 3 RSU to cover the tax liability and will give you 7 RSU.

At the time of sale: After vesting, the difference between fair market value on the date of vesting and selling price is taxed as capital gain as below:
a) Holding period of more than 24 months,  long-term capital gain, taxable at 20% with post-indexation benefit. 
b) If the period is lesser, it is short-term gain taxable at the slab rate.

At the time of filing ITR, you should declare the holding of foreign shares in schedule FA

Thank you.

ITR Filing

UX/UI Designer

Just want to get inputs from those who freelance along with being salaried. I am wondering how people do ITR filing when they’re directly receiving payment from their clients abroad (inward remittance) on their own name (no company created for offering ur service) as well as have their monthly salary ? As much as I’ve read you would be filing ITR-4 but then wouldn’t this reveal to ur current or next employer that u worked 2 places?
Really curious to know as it’s ITR filing time.

Wouldn’t ITR be a mess for salaried employee who also freelances?

I have worked in a startup which gave me ESOPs. I left the company and they have passed on to me my share of vested ESOPs in zenequity.

Do I need to mention this while filing ITR? Do I need to pay tax on it?

Product Manager

It will turn out a year since I join Google as software engineer passing out of college. Now in this tax filing season I am very much scared to file my taxes since I don't know anything about ITR. Can you guys help me suggest some good platforms for tax filing, I have heard about these:

1. Cleartax
2. Quicko
3. Taxbuddy

Btw, haa anyone tried quicko? Have heard about their experience is smooth and nice? Pepul please help me with this..

File taxes for software engineers

Anyone has an idea on how taxes work if you're working remotely for a foreign (say US) company. Is it like you are taxed both from the US and India? For those who are working in such companies, it will be great if you can shed some light here.

Remote US job, Indian Tax + US Tax

I filed ITR yesterday via ClearTax. It was super smooth unlike the experience I had two years back. Had to pay 1.6k as it was classified as ITR3.

It automatically pulled data from Savings bank / FD interest details and from Groww. So had no manual entry in any step. Finally had to pay unlike last time (even for the unassisted process) and then even the step in IT portal was done automatically (via the APIs)

Overall, it went well and I could file in about 20 min.

Just wondering if it's all good or should I be worried if anything went wrong? Should I get a second review from any CA?

Note: I had to pay about 12k tax which CT calculated and I have paid the same.

Filing ITR via ClearTax

I had a very basic doubt.
For people who've exercised their stock options or have had some similar experience with this in the past, what's best way to limit the tax liability?

My company is registered in the US - would i have to pay taxes to both the governments?

Thanks in advance and have a great day ahead!

Tax liability for vested stock options

Say you have ESOPs in a company. Once the company goes public, is there a holding period applicable for the esop before which it can not be sold?
Like 1 month/3 months/6 months holding periods?

Can someone also explain how the conversion of ESOPs to RSUs happens after IPO?

And mainly, tax implications and how to save tax?

How to save income tax when you for a US based startup and pays you in dollars?

I have always been very intrigued about managing my own finances, never hired a CA till now. 

But every year when the tax return filing time comes I run into the same thought - Am I paying too much taxes, is there a way to plan it better?

wanted to get some information on how are you guys managing your taxes. 

- Do you guys have a dedicated CA? does hiring a CA helps? 

- How do you plan your finances? investing/Saving/restructuring to avoid paying the maximum taxes? 

- Some people setup a side business to set off some recurring losses/expenses to some extent. Does that work in long term? 

- In terms of wealth generation, what is your strategy? How much you are able to invest? What assets are good in your POV?

P.S. - Before someone comes up with you need to pay taxes so India can grow. I understand your POV but IMO, I am not able to get the benefits/infra in return, but I with all my heart believe in India’s growth story.

People with 50L+ taxable income, how much taxes are you paying? is there a way to reduce that?

Staff Engineer

People with 50L+ taxable income, how are you managing tax planning?

Hi, Say a Series B (US) funded startup gives me 3000 shares which are worth $5/share. It follows the usual vesting period of 4 years. Now assume 4 years have passed and all the 3000 shares are vested but the company hasn't gone IPO. 

Here are my quesions

- When exercising US stocks in India, what is the % of withholding tax I should pay?
- Say if I exercised all the shares and if I decide to leave the company do I get to keep those exercised shares with me forever?

I prefer answers from people who have exercised ESOPs before. I don't want answers like "It depends, Talk to your HR or CA". Appreciate any inputs.
