DTAA Treaty Advisory.
Most NRIs overpay India tax because nobody applies right treaty. We analyse your residency, income sources, and treaty articles to legally reduce TDS at source and eliminate double taxation entirely.
How much can DTAA actually save me?
Substantial. NRO interest TDS drops from 30% to 10–15% under most treaties. Dividend WHT reduces from 20% to 10–15%. Capital gains may be fully exempt under treaties like India–UAE or India–Singapore. Typical NRI clients save ₹2–8 lakh per year by correctly applying their country's DTAA.
Right treaty, right article, right rate.
DTAA is not a checkbox. It is treaty law. We read every relevant article, apply it to your specific income, and document position so it survives any future scrutiny.
We confirm your tax residency under both India domestic law and relevant DTAA tie-breaker rules, then identify which treaty articles apply to each income stream.
We coordinate with your overseas tax authority to obtain or renew a valid Tax Residency Certificate, and translate it where required.
We file Form 10F electronically on income tax portal and provide bank-ready packets so your TDS deductor applies treaty rate from day one.
Where treaty rate is still high, we apply for a Section 197 certificate to authorise nil or lower deduction, especially valuable for property sale and large interest payouts.
We prepare Form 67 and reconcile foreign tax paid against India tax liability, ensuring you get full credit and avoid double taxation in your ITR.
Every DTAA claim is backed by a written advisory memo citing specific article, OECD commentary, and CBDT clarifications, ready to defend in any assessment.
