India & NRI Tax Services for Canadians

Many of our clients in Canada still have income, property or a business in India. Indian tax filings often need to be handled alongside your Canadian return, so both countries see the same numbers.

India-side services are provided by our sister firm, Sahil Garg & Company, Chartered Accountants, a Chartered Accountancy practice in India founded in January 2012 by Sahil Garg, a practising member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Canadian returns are prepared by Garg Accounting in Calgary. The two are separate firms that work together.

How the two returns fit together

• India’s tax year runs April to March, while Canada uses the calendar year, so Indian income is split and converted for your Canadian return.
• Tax paid in India on the same income can usually be claimed as a foreign tax credit in Canada.
• Having both returns prepared by teams that work together helps keep the figures consistent.

I live in Canada. Do I still need to file a tax return in India?
