Here are some of the major advantages of the double taxation treaties for Indian residents, which help them manage international investments and incomes. 

  • DTAA provides tax exemptions for people who are involved in businesses or trades. 
  • You can get a tax credit on the taxes that you have paid in the country. 
  • DTAA provides legal certainty with clear guidelines on international tax income. It also helps the developing country to look for more foreign investments.
  • Double taxation treaties also help to reduce the tax deduction at source on the dividends that you earn in India, which results in various savings. 
  • It also helps to get the tax refund opportunities if one company pays the taxes of another country and gets the tax refund from the origin country, which results in providing financial relief.

    Here are some of the DTAA benefits that I have used: 

    • It helps individuals and businesses to avoid paying double taxes in different countries on the same income that they have earned. 
    • It promotes cross-border investments, which helps to reduce the tax burdens and stimulate more employment opportunities, economic growth, and the country's infrastructure. 
    • DTAA also helps avoid double taxation on capital gains, which provides many benefits to the investors. 
    • Provides high enhanced transparency, which helps to counter tax evasion with a more equal and simple taxation system.

    Here are some of the documents provided below, which will help you take advantage of the DTAA benefits. 

    • You need to provide your tax status by submitting a tax residency certificate. 
    • A self-declaration form. 
    • A valid copy of your PAN Card. 
    • A copy of the visa as proof of your residency status. 
    • You must submit proof of your Indian origin if applicable. 
    • A self-attested copy of your valid passport, which should be valid for at least 6 months. 
    • To claim the tax benefits, you need to submit the TRC to the tax deductor.
