Are there any tax benifits/ loss while working for a remote company while staying in India?

I'm told that the pay would be a bank - wire transfer every month or it could be a payoneer.

Are there any specific questions should i ask to get more clarity on this?

- What are the rules ? Does RBI creates issues in bank transfer/PayPal ?
- Anything I am missing?

Want to complete this all today so he sends it tomorrow and I get a Diwali baksheesh :)

UX/UI Designer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Can I work as a consultant in a different domain while I'm with another company?

Will consulting have implications if my employer figures out? Also how can my company figure out that I am consulting? Can they check PAN Card details? I’m guessing this is different from moonlighting since I’m not employed at two places. It’s just that I’m consulting 

What's the smart way to go about this? Should I use a different bank account or something?

P.S : The consulting work is in a different domain but mainly just for one company.

Can you consult in another field when you are employed?

Question to guys who are working part time for a startup Or foreign client along with a regular job.. How do you manage payments and hide your side-gig from your primary employer? 

Can you take payments in your own account or in account of someone else? 

How do you ensure your employer don't find out.. Perhaps use a different laptop .

Folks doing part-time moonlighting with a regular job, how do you manage payments?

Data engineer

Hi, I am currently working as an SDE in India. I want to start a small business (online consultancy) with a friend which will require some legal stuff like GST and partnership firm/company registration in India. 

For the initial days of the business, we will be working full time as well and will work on our business in our free time. If this scales well, we'll probably leave our jobs and work on the business full time.

Now, I have a few questions regarding this
- is it a case of moonlighting? 
- What will happen if my employer gets to know this in the future? 
- What are the legal implications in India for this?
- What are the workarounds for this? 

I've seen many people selling some courses or having a restaurant or some small business along with full time employment. How do they manage to do so?

Founder

I recently got an offer from a US based company offering remote work. That makes it two offers, the other being completely from the office.  

I read online that remote jobs are not that great especially for freshers. What are your views on this?

And which one should I prefer? Remote job pays 40% less.

Hi viners! First time founder here, building a SaaS business. I am still validating the problem statement and haven't registered the company yet. 

The MVP is ready and I am reaching out to some early customers to sell the subscription. 

How do I accept payments within India and internationally without registering the company?

One such solution I found is Razorpay payment for freelancer. Has anyone used it? Or know better solutions?

Best Payment Solutions for Freelancers, Homepreneurs, or Self Employed Professionals. It is easy to accept payments for all non-registered individuals and businesses.

Product Manager

I am currently in the interview stages of a company in the payments domain.

I always wanted to work in this domain due to the nature of the work and I assume working in fintech gives you exposure for better future opportunities.

However, they are completely on site and I will have to travel 1.5-2 hrs daily one way (4 in total) 5 days a week.

Has anyone faced the same kind of dilemma and how have you decided on it?

I am also interviewing for remote companies but they are not part of the payment domain.

Role: Senior (5+ years)

Is it worth travelling 4 hours daily for a company?

Hi, I need some help from the finance experts.. I have been doing freelancing for a few months. Until now I was doing it on upwork and other freelancing sites and the amount was also lower (<1lac). Recently I was working with a client outside of the freelancing sites. The client will be paying me in dollars. For transferring the payment he said he will only do via wire transfer.  Now my question is which is the best way to reduce the taxes which I have to pay to the government. The amount will be >10lac. I am already earning more than 10lpa from my job so if I get that money in my account I'll have to pay more tax. On the other hand my parents earnings are not coming under the income tax slab. Should I directly transfer the amount in my account or to my parents account or should I create a msme and register it under GST? 

TIA 🙏

I currently freelance but I've also got a full time job offer.

Can i continue taking freelance income in my salary account or should I avoid taking freelance income under my PAN and get that in maybe my parents account?

Tech Lead

Hello, I started working as SDE at a regular tech firm a few months back. Prior to that I wanted to get into freelancing, even did a few projects.

In the offer letter it's clearly stated that "shouldn't have any other interest in business" and talking around looks like they probably don't want us to have any other sources of income.

I feel confident in few skills that I can more on side, (not greedy need more financial stability)

My Questions
[1] Freelance platforms (fiver, upwork, etc) ask for pan, is it okay if I give my friends/family pan ?
[2] Should I register for a LLP on their name, use that pan everywhere and run the business myself ?
[3] Is it good idea to run it under an alias ?


Any advice / insight / experience would be highly appreciated 🙏

Software Test - QA

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’m not talking about companies like Meta, Google or companies that have their branch offices in India. Even Turing has registered India entity to pay employee salaries.

For example, take Miro. They have offices in Amsterdam but they don’t have a registered entity/office in India. Can companies like those hire Indian workers and make them work remotely from India?
If yes, how would they pay salary? They won’t have official payroll here and without a registered entity they can’t pay PF. How does this salary thing works in this case?
And do we have to pay taxes for both the countries?

Reason for asking: I was watching “Silicon Valley” and there was an episode where Pied Pieper hires 3 engineers from India, Pak and Europe without having any official offices in those country. How would they pay their salaries?
Also, read somewhere on Medium that few people are working this way and getting paid $ equivalent of their salaries. If anyone knows anything about this kindly share info on comments.
