  2. Start Your Business 069 Call Experts 8881-069- How TRC Can Help You Pay Zero Tax in Dubai? If you are working in Dubai on an employment visa with an Emirates ID, and you are involved in crypto trading, forex trading, or any other kind of business, you might assume that your income in Dubai is completely tax- free and invisible to the Indian government. Many people think this means they never need to pay tax in India, whether they live in Dubai or India. However, this assumption is wrong. www.e-startupindia.com

  3. Start Your Business 069 Call Experts 8881-069- How is your Dubai Income disclosed to the Indian Government? The reason is India and the UAE have signed a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) that allows them to share information between the two governments for tax purposes. So, without having the right information and protection, your Dubai income can still attract Indian tax. The solution is the Tax Residency Certificate, also called the Tax Domicile Certificate. What is the Role of DTAA between India and UAE? DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) prevents double taxation between two countries. Article 28 of the DTAA allows India and the UAE to exchange information for tax purposes. If you are considered a tax resident of India, your global income (including Dubai earnings) is taxable in India. The Indian government can send a formal request to the UAE for your data www.e-startupindia.com

  4. Start Your Business 069 Call Experts 8881-069- If your income is undeclared in India, you can face: 30% income tax Interest charges Penalties of up to 300% for tax evasion However, if you hold a Tax Residency Certificate from the UAE, your UAE- sourced income cannot be taxed by India. Since the UAE has no personal tax, no corporate tax, no capital gains tax, and no dividend tax, this income becomes completely tax-free. What Information Can and Cannot Be Shared Under DTAA Article 28, there are limits on what data can be exchanged. www.e-startupindia.com

What are the benefits of Tax Residency Certificate / Tax Domicile Certificate? The benefits of Tax Residency Certificate or Tax Domicile Certificate are enormous and this includes: Income Protection: UAE-sourced income is taxable only in the UAE. India cannot tax it. No TDS Deduction: Under Section 195 of the Indian Income Tax Act, TDS is deducted from payments to foreigners (for example, ₹1,00,000 becomes ₹70,000 after 30% TDS). With a Tax Residency Certificate, the payer cannot deduct TDS, and you receive the full amount. Prevents Tax Notices: The Indian government cannot request your income details from the UAE once Tax Residency Certificate is in place. Bank and Remittance Benefits: UAE banks accept Tax Residency Certificate as proof of residency, ensuring smooth remittances without deductions. Avoids Penalties: No risk of being fined for tax evasion in India on UAE- sourced income. www.e-startupindia.com
