GIFTed Insights Ep 19: India Tax Filing for Gulf NRIs – Capital Gains, DTAA & Common Mistakes
About the Event
We're back with GIFTed Insights Ep 19, and this time we're tackling one of the most requested topics among NRIs in the Gulf region: India tax filing.
Every year, thousands of Gulf NRIs face questions around capital gains, ITR filing, DTAA benefits, foreign assets reporting, and common filing mistakes. Yet tax rules can often feel confusing, especially when you have investments, property, or income sources across countries.
To help simplify it, we're hosting a conversation with CA Sagar Soman, who has an experience of 20+ years in NRI taxation and will break down the key tax considerations Gulf NRIs should know before filing their India tax returns.
Following the session, the Belong team will host an open AMA on India taxation, NRI investing, GIFT City, or anything else on your mind.
In this session, we'll cover:
✅ Who needs to file an India tax return and who doesn't
✅ Tax treatment of capital gains on Indian investments
✅ DTAA benefits and how to avoid double taxation
✅ Foreign asset and income reporting requirements
✅ Common tax filing mistakes NRIs make
Why this matters:
✅ Tax rules for NRIs are often misunderstood
✅ Filing mistakes can lead to notices, penalties, or missed tax benefits
✅ Understanding DTAA provisions can help reduce your overall tax burden
Who should attend:
✅ Gulf-based NRIs with investments in India
✅ NRIs earning rental income, capital gains, or other India-sourced income
✅ Anyone planning to file an India tax return this year
✅ Investors looking to better understand NRI taxation
Whether you're filing taxes yourself or working with a tax advisor, this session is designed to help you understand the key rules and avoid common pitfalls.
