DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement)

A Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) is a tax treaty signed between two countries to prevent individuals and businesses from being taxed twice on the same income. DTAA ensures that income earned in one country is not taxed again in another country.

India has signed DTAA agreements with multiple countries to promote cross-border trade and investment.
