Expert DTAA advisory to minimise withholding tax on cross-border payments, claim treaty benefits, and avoid double taxation on international income.
India has Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) with 90+ countries — providing reduced withholding tax rates on dividends, interest, royalties, and fees for technical services, and eliminating double taxation on business profits. However, claiming DTAA benefits requires proper documentation, tax residency certificates, and compliance with the Principal Purpose Test (PPT) and Limitation of Benefits (LOB) provisions.
AccentTax Consulting provides comprehensive DTAA advisory — analysing applicable treaty provisions, advising on treaty eligibility, preparing required documentation, and ensuring withholding tax is correctly applied. We help businesses and individuals maximise treaty benefits while remaining compliant with Indian and foreign tax laws.
