I have been appointed as a Retainer or Representative of a foreign company in India.
They will pay me in forex every month and ready to re-imburse my other expenses like Travel, accommodation, local Coveyance, communication and rental charges to my office.
My nature of work to co-ordinate , represent, provide market inputs and consultancy services etc by working with various IT companies (like Infosys, Wipro etc).
Kindly clarify:
1. Do you I have to pay Income Tax ? 2. How the re-imbursements of expenses are treated in the I Tax? 3. What are all the documents required to get this forex remittance every month so that everything is done legally as per the law. 4. Is there any other tax I need to pay? 5. Is service is applicable? 6. Do I have to inform the RBI about the receipt of remittance received through my bankers.
Apologize for the inconvenience caused to CA forum over this question.
I am a law abiding citizen and would like to comply with the Laws of our country.
