Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about India-Germany taxation
If you have any income sourced from India (rental income, capital gains, interest, dividends), you are
required to file an Indian tax return as an NRI. Even if TDS has been deducted, filing helps you claim
refunds and maintain compliance.
The Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and Germany ensures you don't pay tax twice on the same income.
Depending on the type of income, you may be taxed in only one country, or you can claim credit for taxes paid in one country against your liability in the other.
Rental income from Indian property is taxable in India under Indian tax laws. However, you also need to report this income in Germany.
Under DTAA, you can claim credit for taxes paid in India against your German tax liability, preventing double taxation.
Capital gains from Indian mutual funds or stocks are taxable in India.
Short-term gains (held <1 year for stocks, <3 years for debt funds) are taxed at higher rates than long-term gains. You must report these in your Indian ITR and may also need to report in Germany.
Tax residency is determined by the number of days you spend in each country and your ties (home, family, economic interests).
If you qualify as resident in both countries, the DTAA tie-breaker rules determine your residency. We can help you analyze your specific situation.
For India: Form 16 (if applicable), bank statements, property documents, broker statements, AIS/TIS from income tax portal.
For Germany: Lohnsteuerbescheinigung, insurance certificates, rental contracts, investment statements. We'll provide a detailed checklist after initial consultation.
Yes! In India, you can file belated returns and also file updated returns for past years.
In Germany, voluntary returns can be filed for previous years as well. We can help you get compliant with past filings.
