Hi, i'm sure there are some IM'mers from india and i would like to know how they file tax or how they do evaluation of tax. What documents they attatch and how they work everything out. Not yet in taxable earning as most of the earning is from other people in home but still my income may go to taxation if i earn 20k more, so looking for help. I find it hard here in my village because there are no online workers in this part of country and there are no financial advisors in this village. So unless i go to metro cities it's hard to get help on this. Anyone wants to explain how this stuff works for full time IMmer.

Previously there were STPI ( Software Technology Parks, India) Companies which were exempted from any kind of tax. You will have to check if your state has some SEZ or a similar tax haven where you can set-up your company. If you make quite a lot and are worried about taxations, you should open up a firm in some other country (tax haven, eg-Germany?) and deal in offshore billing. This way you wont end up paying any tax at all as you are not billing in India.
Issue is that you can deal with virtual currency like lr, webmoney etc. But the point is that someday you have to move the funds to bank and KYC is going to map us to the income tax. Sooner or later we'll get under taxation hammer. I would like to know how to setup accounts in such countries to save money or to move money occasionally. any help(links or blogs or books) in opening firm in another country or bank account will surely help.

If you want to save on taxes, then setting up a STPI registered firm is an option. Its quite an hassle though, all that sarkari shit.
Otherwise simply file your taxes via a CA or file it online here - http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/home.asp

Well this is what i have been doing.
1)Open only student account(icici/sbi) as it does not require PAN.Use different alias.
2)Dont keep lumpsome amount (<3lacks).Withdraw or distribute funds in other accounts.
3)Close the account every other year.
Doing it for past 2 years.Never paid any tax yet

HI Fellow members.
I need to file taxes and SHOW income source to TAX department.
I am earning from internet marketing.
Please let me know what should i mention there for INCOME SOURCE so it looks real.
Also my CA is trying to save most of taxes by showing expense - I DO NOT LIKE THIS = it may invite future problems.
What should i do?
THANKS and rep.

ITT: People with the right facts= 0.
1. STPI has been scrapped off now. If you want Tax Relief go to Himachal Pradesh and open your company there.
2. You can always opt in for an offshore company. An IBC in the Seychelles cots about 400 GBP.
3. The money laundering involved is a bit tricky. You would have to open up a bank account in Cyprus, etc and then convert your cash to LR or Webmoney. After that you can sell LR at INR 50. I have many buyers, I can help you with that.

Just visit to any chartered accountant in your city and ask them to fill your tax. They need nothing more than your bank transactions and your expenditures.
Just show them all your bank transactions and they will book-keep them. No hassle just clean and clear. its my 4th year I have filled the taxes.
@poorboi, loved your idea of moneylaundering LR thing. Thanks for previous reply as well. If you don't mind i may PM you for help.
@Dheer, my earnings are coming from paypal/SA check and withdrawn directy to bank. Bloody paypal is keeping bad conversion rate for me 1USD=42INR. I don't have CA here in village so looks like i have to go to city for that. Another thing, what i need to attatch or show him ? Bank statement in seperate printout or passbook ? Because it only contains amount sent via SWIFT from paypal and there is not much of info about source etc.
@anic21, tax starts from 1,80,000/INR. So if you're earning 1,80,000INR per anum then you're taxable.
By the way, is there anyone who knows about online tax filing company ? or have experience with ?
