Tax & Compliance Guide

UK-based NRIs must declare Indian rental income on their HMRC self-assessment tax return under 'foreign property income.' Indian TDS (30% under Section 195) can be credited against UK tax liability under the India-UK DTAA. File Indian ITR to recover excess TDS. NRO repatriation to UK bank accounts requires Form 15CA/15CB.
