AAR GIVES RELIEF TO INDIAN CITIZENS

The Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has decided that salary received in India by a person who has resided 182 days or more outside the country is not taxable, since he will be considered a non-resident during the relevant assessment year. AAR gave this verdict on a petition filed by British Gas. AAR was clarifying doubts over the issue whether a person can be considered non-resident Indian if he travels outside India for more than 182 days in year even as his travel is linked to his employment in India.
