What Is DTAA Claim?
A person earning income must pay tax in the country in which he or she is living, as well as in the country in which he or she resides. To avoid this, India has signed Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) with many countries so that income is taxed only once.
In order to claim this benefit, it is necessary to know whether the country in which one resides or earns income has a DTAA with India. Form 10F, a tax residence certificate and self-declaration in the prescribed format must be filed with the entity responsible for the deduction of tax at source.
The DTAA applies to provisions for the benefit of the tax relief of different types of income, e.g:
- Income from Interest
- Dividend Revenue
- Employment earnings
- Capital gains
- Revenue of consulting and royalties
- Business income
- Any other type of income
Documents required to claim DTAA :
- Assessor's name
- Assessee's status (person, company, company, etc.)
- Assessor's nationality
- Tax identifier for the Assessee in the country or territory of residence specified.
- Revenue of consulting and royalties
- Business income
- Certificate of Tax Residency (TRC)
- Any other type of income
