Which describes you?

- Your status is worked out each year from your travel, not assumed

Services
What NRIs most often need from us
Pick a service to see what it covers. Most clients need two or three together.
Residential status review
The single fact that drives everything else. We calculate it properly each year rather than assuming last year's answer.
- A day-count from your passport stamps and travel records
- Why last year's status cannot be assumed for this year
- How your status decides what India can tax
- The difference between your tax status and your FEMA status
Where you live
Your country changes the picture
India is one side of the position. Your host country is the other, and the two returns need to line up.
Indians in the United States
You file a US return on worldwide income and disclose foreign accounts, while India taxes what arises in India. The two returns need to line up.
India side: Kompass. US return: an independent US CPA we work alongside.
Typically on the list
- Reporting Indian bank accounts, mutual funds and property in the US
- Treaty relief so Indian income is not taxed twice
- Selling Indian property while a US tax resident
- Returning to India from the US
Our process
How we help
Every engagement runs the same way, so you always know what happens next and what it costs. Where you also need a CPA, tax adviser, investment adviser or property consultant abroad, we work alongside yours or introduce one from our network.
Who you will speak to
A Chartered Accountant who holds both sides at once
Sumit Kumar migrated from India to Melbourne as a skilled migrant in 2005 and became an Australian citizen in 2010. Having rebuilt a career and a life in a new country himself, he knows first-hand what it takes to keep a life going across two countries: not just the paperwork and the deadlines, but the distance and the pressure of starting over far from home. Kompass Global Advisory is built on 25+ years of experience across immigration, overseas education, business, finance and international tax, so we help you see the bigger picture and make better-informed decisions.
