• TDS Deducted on Salary in Qatar starting from November

Hi ,

I was sent to Qatar on Business Visa from August-7th-2016 by my company. Subsequently I was transferred to Qatar from 1-Nov-2016 . Till October I was getting salary in my Indian Account.

My organisation has deducted TDS @30% on my Qatar salary also starting from November .

Please suggest whether I will be able to get a refund as my stay outside India is more than 182 days.This was my first overseas visit.

Regards,

Dear Pavan,

Yes, you are eligible for refund if TDS. You will be liable to pay tax only on the salary given by your indian employer.

Please feel free to call/ revert in case of any doubts

Thanks and Regards

In my opinion, it should not be taxable even if you receive single form 16.

You should have the tax residency certificate of Qatar and also any letter from the company evidencing that you are working in Qatar.

You don't need to attach any document with the return. You need to keep the documents safe. You ll have to produce the documents as and when asked by the department.

Yes you can get it refund through withholding certificate of tds deducted there. You need to produce them in Indian tax authority pay tax on full value of salary including those received in quatar and claim the tax already deducted as credit.

As per our view if the company is same then they have take appropriate care while preparing your Form 16. You will not get refund, you need to file return of income as per the Form 16.

Hi Pavan,

The entire salary paid by your Company will be taxable in India. This is as per the Indian Income-tax Act as well as the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement signed between India and Qatar. However, you will be paying tax as per the slab rates applicable. Any excess tax deducted by your company will be refunded to you, if you file a return in India.

You need to file return as resident only since for the year 2016 - 17 you are resident only.

You need to offer both the salary from indian company as well as quatar company and than need to claim relief under DTAA Article 15 where by tax paid in Quatar shall be adjusted against the current liability of salary and ITR 1 can be filed.
