DTAA Relief Claim for NRIs

Claim Double Taxation Avoidance relief and Foreign Tax Credit through Form 67. AVS & Associates helps NRIs and residents avoid being taxed twice.

DTAA Relief Claim

A Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) ensures the same income is not taxed twice — once in the country where it arises and again in the country of residence. India has DTAAs with more than 90 countries, and the right treaty position can substantially reduce the tax you pay on cross-border income such as salary, interest, dividends, capital gains and consultancy fees.
Relief is given in two main ways — the exemption method (income is taxed in only one country) and the credit method (tax paid abroad is allowed as a Foreign Tax Credit against Indian tax). We determine which method and treaty article apply to your income and compute the relief accurately.
To claim Foreign Tax Credit you must file Form 67 before filing your income tax return, supported by a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) from the other country and Form 10F. We prepare and file these correctly, so your claim is valid and your refund or reduced liability is processed smoothly.
Whether you are an NRI, a returning Indian or a resident with foreign income, we make sure you claim every rupee of treaty relief you are entitled to. For complex cross-border structuring, see our broader DTAA advisory service.
