Frequently asked questions
Do I need to file an Indian tax return while living in Canada?
If your Indian income exceeds the basic exemption limit, or you have capital gains or TDS refunds to claim, you generally need to file. Filing is online and can be done from Canada.
Is my Canada salary taxable in India?
Generally no for a non-resident if earned and received outside India. Residential status in India decides this. Use our status calculator.
