Double Taxation

Double Taxation

Postby Lisa Shaw on Tue Dec 13, 2011 1:36 am

Hiya!
I am a UK tax payer and am thinking of investing and developing a business in India. I have been told that I will have to pay taxes there but can offset taxes here by virtue of a double tax agreement. My concern is that the taxes do not seem to match up! For example does the double tax agreement match business tax to business tax? If I pay business tax there, will I again have to pay personal tax here on the profits I repatriate?
I hope that makes sense!

Are you carrying on business as a sole trader (ie in your name) or via a company (if the latter is the company registered in the UK or India?).

Hi maths - sorry for my tardy response - I was on a long Christmas Break! Happy New Year!

Well I was leaning towards either a sole trader or a partnership firm? Does that make a big difference?
