What is DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) for Equity Investments?

DTAA helps NRIs avoid being taxed twice – once in India and again in their resident country.
How DTAA Works:
● India has DTAA agreements with many countries.
● If you pay tax on stock sales or dividends in India, you can reduce your tax in your resident country by presenting tax proof.
Benefits of DTAA for Equity Investments:
● Lower TDS Rates: Dividends and capital gains may attract lower TDS (10-15%) based on the DTAA agreement between India and your country.
● Avoid Double Taxation: If your country of residence taxes global income, you can avoid being taxed twice on the same income.
Example: If the DTAA agreement allows a 10% tax rate on dividends, TDS in India will be reduced to 10% instead of the standard 20%.
