Recently back from the UK?Your first years in India.

The first few years after moving back from the UK decide a lot. While you are RNOR, most UK income stays outside Indian tax. Once you become fully resident, your UK pensions, ISAs, rent and accounts are taxable in India and every foreign asset must be disclosed. We manage the change year by year.

Common UK assets.

Pensions

UK private pensions are generally taxed in India once resident; UK government pensions in the UK.

ISAs and investments

Tax-free in the UK, but taxable in India once you are resident.

UK property

Rent and gains taxed in both, with credit under the treaty.

Disclosure matters.

Once resident, every foreign bank account, investment, property and pension must be shown in the return. Missing assets can lead to heavy penalties under the black money law. See Double Taxation Avoidance.
