Expat Tax Services in India – NRI & Expatriate Tax Consultancy

An “Expatriate” refers to an individual living temporarily or permanently in a country other than their home country, often due to professional assignments or job-related relocations. Expat taxation, also known as expat tax consultation, involves managing the tax obligations of such individuals while ensuring compliance with local and international tax laws.

In India, expatriates are typically classified into two categories:

1. Inbound Expatriates: Foreign nationals working in India.
2. Outbound Expatriates: Indian citizens working abroad.

The taxation of these individuals is governed by the provisions of Expat Taxation in India, a complex domain requiring specialized expertise.
