Remote US job, Indian Tax + US Tax

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.

I don't know a lot more about this, but there is a double taxation avoidance agreement between India and other foreign countries. This is in place so you don't have to pay double taxes in 2 countries.

Ideally a certain amount of your salary will be withheld by US (withholding tax i think) as their tax. The remaining salary will be credited into your account as it is without any more deductions. Now, when you file ITR in India, you can show the withholding tax as your tax paid (Don't know the specifics) and be except from any other additional taxes.

Hey 👋 CA here!

A couple of things to keep in mind:

  1. Income may be taxed only in India & not in USA
  2. The company may ask you to submit Form W-8BEN for US Tax

If you are working as an employee, social security (PF) payments may be made by company in USA.

If you are working as a consultant, you will need to evaluate GST registration & return filing requirements in India.

Best, CA Sonu Jain

At the end you should only be taxed on India's side since they have a agreement with US. If you are taxed by US as well, your CA will have to claim refund while filing income tax
