A.Dear Client,
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) does not levy capital gains tax on cryptocurrency. As such, individuals and businesses in Dubai are not subject to capital gains tax on profits from cryptocurrency trading/sales. In India, cryptocurrencies are classified as virtual digital assets and are subject to taxation. Gains made from trading cryptocurrencies are taxed at a rate of 30% plus 4% cess, according to Section 115BBH of the Income Tax Act, 1961. NRIs are subject to Crypto Taxation on their cryptocurrency investments, similar to resident Indians. They must pay capital gains tax on profits from crypto sales, disclose holdings to tax authorities, and comply with regulations to avoid penalties.

A.Dear Client,
The existence of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) plays an important role in their economic relationship.By eliminating the risk of double taxation, it fosters investment, enhances trade, and benefits taxpayers by offering relief, ultimately bolstering economic cooperation between India and the UAE. Hence please verify with an accountant on how to save tax through the double tax agreement between the two countries
