There is no special tax regime for expatriates in India. Tax incidence of an individual solely depends upon his residential status, which in turn depends on his physical presence in India. Any expat employee who has stayed in India for more than 181 days in a tax year has to pay tax on his entire income irrespective of whether he receives it in India or outside India. However if your home country happens to be one with which India has entered into a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), the residency aspect may be resolved under the tie-breaker clauses of the relevant DTAA.Anyone who earns taxable income in India, expat or otherwise, is required to apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) with the Indian Income Tax Authorities upon their arrival in India. This is a one-time registration and will be quoted in all your correspondences with the tax authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Food and beverage taxes are also levied in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expatinfodesk.com\/destinations\/delhi\/\">Delhi<\/a> at most restaurants, and these are generally in addition to the menu price and added to the final bill. Food is taxed at 12.5% VAT and alcohol at 20%.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;city-side-bar&#8221;][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;sidebar-section-two&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Useful links&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|font_size:24|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; el_class=&#8221;useful-links&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; up=&#8221;&#8221; down=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;useful-links&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"http:\/\/www.thedelhiwalla.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thedelhiwalla.com\/\">http:\/\/www.thedelhiwalla.com<\/a><br \/>\nArticles and pictures on happenings in Delhi.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"http:\/\/www.timeoutdelhi.net\" href=\"http:\/\/www.timeoutdelhi.net\/\">http:\/\/www.timeoutdelhi.net<\/a><br \/>\nGuide to what&#8217;s going on in Delhi.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"http:\/\/delhi.clickindia.com\" href=\"http:\/\/delhi.clickindia.com\/\">http:\/\/delhi.clickindia.com<\/a><br \/>\nComprehensive classified site for the Delhi area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;sidebar-section-three&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Interesting fact&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|font_size:24|text_align:left|color:%23333333&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;#eeeeee&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; up=&#8221;&#8221; down=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<table class=\"table table-condensed sidebar-section-three-table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"fa fa-snowflake-o\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>The British architect Edwin Lutyens planned much of New Delhi when it was decided to move the capital of the British Raj from Calcutta in the early 1900\u2019s.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;container&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;container&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;three-top-tips&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1599875304748{margin-left: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;border-right-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text] Tax Guide India&#8217;s tax year runs from April-March.
