About NRI Tax Liability Calculator

A non-resident is taxed only on income sourced in the country, with certain interest and investment income specifically exempt. Because withholding rates on non-residents are often higher than the final liability, refunds are common.

Formula

Non-resident tax

Taxable = local income - exempt income; balance = tax - withholding

Worked example

Frequently Asked Questions

Is foreign income taxable for a non-resident?

No. Only locally sourced income falls within the charge, which is the central advantage of non-resident status.

Why is a refund so often due?

Withholding is applied at flat statutory rates that ignore slabs, deductions and treaty relief.
