Indian Tax environment has been rapidly changing to absorb the global changes and the need to curb the tax avoidance and restrict the black money, which have been the primary objectives of the government. The recent developments provide us with a glimpse of India’s treaty policy to prevent double non-taxation, curb revenue loss and check the menace of black money through automatic exchange of information.

India – Singapore:
ØResident based to Source based: The India-Singapore DTAA at present provides for residence based taxation of capital gains of shares in a company.
