    tds on property sale by nri in india

    FAQ

    Tax
    01 The tax is to be paid on the Total Sales Proceeds on sale of property? tds on sale of property for nri

    No, Applicable tax is required to be paid on the Capital Gain only which is further bifurcated as long term and short term

    Long-term Capital Gain: Property held for more than 2 years

    Short-term Capital Gain: Property held for less than 2 years

    02 Who deducts the TDS and how? The step-by-step process? tds on sale of property if seller is nri
    • The TDS on sale of property by NRI is required to be deducted under Section 195
    • The seller shall file an application in Form 13 with the Income Tax Dept to obtain No/Lower TDS certificate which needs to be given to the buyer for deducting the exact TDS. In case this certificate is not obtained by the seller from the Income Tax Department, the TDS should be deducted on the Total Sale Price and not on the Capital Gains. Therefore, it is very important for the seller to obtain this certificate from the Income Tax Officer.
    • Also, what is important to know is that the buyer must have a TAN no to be able to buy a property from an NRI. Do note that PAN number is different than TAN number.
    • If the buyer is buying a property jointly with someone; both must have separate TAN numbers even if they are from the same family.
    • The TDS so deducted by the buyer shall be deposited with the Income Tax Dept within 7 days from the end of the month in which the TDS has been deducted
    • This TDS is required to be deposited along with Challan No./ ITNS 281 and can be deposited online as well as through various bank branches.
    • After the deposit of TDS, the buyer is required to furnish a TDS Return.
    • This TDS Return is required to be furnished in Form 27Q and is required to be furnished separately for each quarter in which the TDS has been deducted.
    • This TDS Return is required to be deposited within 31 days from the end of the quarter in which the TDS has been deducted
    • After the deposit of TDS and filing of TDS Return, the buyer is also required to furnish Form to the seller of property.
    03 What is the difference between How much TDS gets deducted on sale of property by an NRI as compared
    to Resident Indians? tds on sale of property in case of nri

    Effective TDS rate for Long-term Capital gains

    • Less than INR 50 Lacs: 20.8%
    • INR 50 Lacs – INR 1 Crore: 22.88%
    • Above INR 1 Crore: 23.92%

    Effective TDS rate for Short-term Capital gains

    • Flat rate: 30%

    Effective TDS rate for Resident Indians

    • Flat rate: 1%
    04 What is Low / No TDS Certificate tds on sale of property nri

    To reduce the TDS on Sale of Property by NRI, the NRI is required to file an application in Form 13 with the Income Tax Department for issuance of Certificate for Lower/No Deduction of TDS.

    In absence of this certificate which is attested by the Income tax Officer, TDS gets deducted on the Total Sale Price of the property and not only on the Capital Gains. This Certificate hence helps the NRI’s in largely reducing the TDS Liability and therefore, most NRI’s opt for this certificate.

    05 Is There a Way to Reduce My TDS Liability on Funds That I Get on Selling the Property in India tds on sale of shares by nri

    Yes, to reduce the TDS on Sale of Property by NRI, the NRI is required to file an application in Form 13 with the Income Tax Department for issuance of Certificate for Lower/No Deduction of TDS. This Certificate helps the NRI’s in largely reducing the TDS Liability and therefore, most NRI’s opt for this certificate.

    However, filing this form is a complicated task and therefore most NRI’s hire a Chartered Accountant for filing this application.

    06 Is My Income from Selling House in India Taxable In US/ Canada/ UK? tds on selling property in india

    Many Countries levy Tax on sale of property by their Residents irrespective of the location of the property. For eg.: An NRI residing in US /Canada/ UK sells property in India, then both the country they are currently residing in (US/Canada/UK) and India will levy Tax on this transaction. The foreign country will levy tax because the NRI is residing in that country and India will levy tax because the property is in India leading to double taxation.

    However, to avoid levy of double taxes, India has entered into Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) with nearly 90 countries. These agreements state that if a person has paid Tax on sale of property in India, then he can get a tax credit of the taxes paid in India which will reduce his tax liability in the other country.

    Please note, proper disclosures are required to be made in this case in the country where the tax credit is being claimed.

    Also note that Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, UK are all included in the list of countries, India has signed DTAA with.

    Remittance
    01 What is the 20% outward remittance tax (TCS) rule and how does it impact me? tds property sale nri

    The 20% outward remittance tax, also known as Tax Collected at Source (TCS), was introduced in India's Union Budget 2023. Here are the key points:

    • Applicability: This tax applies to most foreign remittances made by Indian residents and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) under the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS).
    • Threshold: A 20% TCS is deducted on foreign remittances over Rs. 7 lakhs.
    • Purpose: It covers remittances for investments, purchase of foreign assets, gifting money abroad, etc.
    • Exceptions: Remittances for medical treatment and education expenses abroad have lower TCS rates.
    • Collection: TCS is collected by banks/authorized dealers at the time of remittance.
    • Tax Credit: NRIs can claim the TCS paid as a tax credit.

    This tax adds an extra burden on large foreign remittances by NRIs under the LRS, but remittances from NRO/FCNR accounts are exempt when done through The Remittor Process.

    02 How is the TCS calculated? tds rate for sale of property by nri

    TCS Rates:

    • 20% on foreign remittances over Rs. 7 lakhs (except education and medical)
    • 5% on remittances for overseas tour packages (no threshold)
    • 5% on education remittances over Rs. 7 lakhs (non-loan case)
    • 0.5% on education loan remittances over Rs. 7 lakhs

    Calculation MethodL

    • Calculate the amount exceeding the threshold limit (if any) for the transaction type.
    • For example, if an NRI remits Rs. 10 lakhs under LRS (non-education/medical), 20% TCS applies on Rs. 3 lakhs (Rs. 10 lakhs - Rs. 7 lakhs threshold).

    TCS Amount = (Remittance Amount exceeding threshold) x Applicable TCS Rate

    • For Rs. 10 lakhs, TCS amount = Rs. 3 lakhs x 20% = Rs. 60,000

    The TCS is deducted upfront by the authorized dealer (bank) before transferring funds. For remittances without a threshold limit, like overseas tour packages, the TCS rate applies to the full amount.

    03 Why should I choose Remittor for money transfer services? tds rate on sale of property by nri

    Remittor is a wealth transfer platform for Global Indians, ensuring compliance management for transactions. The Remittor Process helps you transfer wealth globally without losing money to unnecessary taxes. Our services include:

    • Transaction advisory
    • Integrated banking services
    • Competitive remittance rates up to INR 8 crores
    • Compliance management to avoid the 20% TCS

    04 Will the transaction be compliant and legit? tds sale of property by nri

    Yes, as a registered remittance agency, our partners hold an FFMC license for currency conversion, and all transactions are processed through RBI-authorized partners.

    05 What is the limit of LRS in a year? tds on non resident on sale of property

    NRIs can remit up to $1 million per year from NRO accounts without TCS.

    Under LRS, every Indian resident can send up to USD 2,50,000 in a financial year for various purposes.

    06 Do I need to convert my regular savings account to an NRI account? tds on nri property

    If you are an Indian citizen residing abroad, you can convert your regular savings account to an NRI account for benefits like higher interest rates, no remittance restrictions, special investment schemes, and easy fund repatriation

    07 How to convert to an NRI account? tds on nri property sale in india

    Remittor will schedule a call with the bank for you. You'll need to submit documents like proof of NRI status, passport copy, overseas address proof, and an NRI declaration form.

    08 What charges apply for wire transfers? tds on nri sale of property

    Intermediary and beneficiary bank charges (NOSTRO Charges) apply, varying based on transaction size. Additional charges of 1.25% to 2.5% may apply if paying via debit card.

    09 What documents are needed for sending an outward remittance? tds on property for nri

    A PAN card is mandatory. For proof of address, provide any one of Aadhar, Passport, Voter ID, or Driving License. Document verification is done in real time.

    10 For what reasons can I send funds out of India? tds on property sale by nri in india

    You can send funds for:

    • Overseas education (fees and living expenses)
    • Family maintenance
    • Personal gifts or donations
    • Private visits
    • Business travel
    • Emigration and related fees
    • Employment processing fees
    • Medical treatment abroad

    11 To whom can I send money from India for the ‘maintenance of close relatives’? tds on property sale for nri

    You can send money to:

    • Parents
    • Children
    • Spouse
    • Siblings
    • Grandparents/Grandchildren
    • Parents-in-law

    Gifts to these relatives are tax-exempt, and there is no monetary limit on the value of gifts sent to them. Gifts to non-relatives are taxable if the aggregate value exceeds Rs. 50,000 in a financial year. Compliance with FEMA regulations like LRS limits may be required for large sums.
