Am I being taxed twice? (Foreign Tax Credit)
No — India lets you subtract the US tax you already paid. But you have to file one form first, or you lose the credit.
Form 67
file this and you won't pay tax twice on the same income
₹100 US dividend, taxed correctly
Illustrative at a 30% Indian slab. You get credit for the US tax — you don't pay the full amount twice.
What to do
- 1
Declare the gross (pre-US-tax) dividend as 'Income from Other Sources'.
- 2
Work out your Indian tax on it, then credit the lower of the US tax or the Indian tax.
- 3
File Form 67 — before you file your return is safest.
- 4
Keep your US Form 1042-S as proof of the tax withheld.
