Hi Experts,
Need your help in taking a decision about my job.
A small background on my case:
I am a software professional in India. My husband got a job in Canada (Halifax) and we came to Canada in Oct 2011. He is on a work permit and I got a open work permit along with him. I did not quit my job in India and had applied 2 months leave with my Indian employer. Now the leave is getting over and my employer is checking whether I can remotely work from Canada but on India payroll.
My questions:
Since I will be on India payroll, I will be paying taxes in India. Since India has tax treaty with Canada, I understand that I can avoid double taxation. But I am not very clear on how exactly to calculate the tax credit.
Suppose my taxable income in India is Rs. 8 lakhs (after deductions) and tax paid in India is 1.5 lakhs, how do I calculate the tax that I should pay in Canada (federal and Nova Scotia provincial tax) and what amount will be the tax credit ?
Should I convert everything in Canadian dollars and calculate the canadian tax and minus the indian tax ?
Kindly requesting experts to help me on this.
Thanks much, Parth.
