DTAA: Avoiding Double Taxation Can Boost Your Global Business

Modified on Tue, 11 Apr 2023 at 02:33 PM

Globalization forms the basis of international business today. Everyone has maintained massive tie-ups globally, from tech
unicorns to small start-ups. As a result, this has led to a surge in cross-border transactions between countries. This is where
DTAA comes in as a lifesaver.  


DTAA is an agreement that India has signed with more than 90 countries worldwide, relieving businesses from paying
twice taxes on the same income. Under the DTAA, a company can claim tax benefits in either the home or foreign country,
depending on the specific agreement between the two countries.


  • Firstly, DTAA helps reduce the tax burden on business transactions. If a company ties up with a foreign country, it
    may be subject to tax in the partnered country and India. However, businesses can claim tax relief in one of the 
    countries and avoid double taxation. 

  • DTAA can help promote cross-border trade and investment by reducing the tax barriers businesses face. This makes
     it easier for Indian firms to invest in foreign countries and vice versa by providing tax relief and clarity in taxation laws. 

  • Additionally, it enhances economic relations between the two countries. A favorable tax regime encourages
    cross-border trade and investment, leading to the growth of both economies.

  • DTAA helps to increase transparency in taxation between two countries and ensures that people or businesses aren't
    evading taxes by taking advantage of various tax systems.

  • DTAA agreements facilitate the exchange of information between two countries. This helps prevent money
    laundering and promotes transparency in tax matters.

In conclusion, Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) is an essential concept that helps businesses to have transparency
in taxation and promotes cross-border investments and trade.
