India-Brazil Tax Treaty Impacts Taxation of NRI Professional Income from India
An Indian professional residing in Brazil providing architectural services to a Goa-based company may be subject to Indian tax on income deemed to accrue in India. Under Indian tax law, such fees for technical services (FTS) are taxable at 20%, plus surcharge and cess. However, the India-Brazil Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) caps this tax at 10% and prioritizes FTS provisions over Independent Personal Services rules, affecting how the income is taxed under the treaty.
