How are NRIs taxed on professional fees?
Mint Mumbai|December 03, 2024
I am an Indian citizen and a lawyer by profession. I used to work as an in-house counsel in a promoter-run Indian company. I shifted my residence to the US with my family in 2023.

How are NRIs taxed on professional fees?

The promoter has recently offered me the opportunity to provide legal services from the US. There is no need to travel to India, though I may visit annually for about 15-20 days for vacation. If I agree to take up this work, will I be taxed on the professional fee income in India? The promoter will directly wire my fees to my US bank account.
