Australia-India Tax & Cross-Border Advisory
With the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) between India and Australia, bilateral trade and human capital flows are at an all-time high. We advise Australian residents and companies on Indian statutory requirements.
Tax & Treaty Framework (DTAA)
The Australia-India Double Tax Agreement (DTAA) prevents double taxation on income flows. Special provisions apply to offshore technical services and capital gains.
Commercial & Business Context
Australian software and mining-tech firms establishing delivery centers in India require compliant corporate structuring, GST export documentation, and payroll advisory.
Core Compliance Focus Areas
- Australian NRI capital gains taxation and TDS minimization on Indian real estate sales
- Form 15CA/CB documentation for outward repatriation to Australian bank accounts
- Assistance with DTAA Article 12 (Royalties and Fees for Technical Services)
Advice is rendered regarding Indian tax implications under the Income-tax Act, 1961, FEMA regulations, and applicable DTAA provisions. For domestic tax filings in Australia, coordination with local CPAs is advised.
