Our knowledge of the India-Greece Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA)

Our team of consultants, in addition to advising on infrastructure investment opportunities such as ports and airports, also have strong experience in the advising on the intricacies of the India-Greece Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) and the implications of it for Indian businesses doing business in Greece and Indian people investing in Greece.

The agreement is a critical bilateral agreement between both governments that has been in place since 1967 and ensures the prevention of double taxation concerning taxes on income and capital.

It applies to income tax and super tax in India, as well as tax on physical persons, income tax on legal entities and special taxes levied in Greece concerning freight in Greece.

There are a number of aspects of the Greece and India double tax avoidance agreement that are critical for

Key Highlights

  • The concept of a permanent establishment. It states that there much not be a tax levied on the commercial profits earned by a permanent establishment of an enterprise in the other territory.
  • Withholding tax rates: There are set withholding tax rates in the DTAA. These are:
    • Interest: 20%
    • Dividends: 20%
    • Royalties: 10%
  • Where dividends are paid from a company to an individual, and the individual is a resident of another country, they are subject to taxation by the country which is making the dividend payment.
  • Immovable property tax and capital gains tax: This occurs in the country where the property is located or the capital gain arises. I.e. if there is a capital gain in India it is taxed in India. This also applies to capital gains tax.
  • The taxing of pensions: Pensions are taxed in the territory where they arise – irrespective of the residency location of the individual.
  • Provision for the exchange of information: India and Greece are required to share information and there are provisions to ensure that information is kept confidential.
  • Credit method application: The credit method will be applied by both countries on the occasion of double taxation.

A summary of how the DTAA

The DTAA between Greece and India gives assurances to Indian businesses expanding into Greece and operating and opening companies in Greece that the credit system will be applied and there is a balanced approach to taxation.

Whilst there is an exchange of information clause, this is targeted and designed to limit tax evasion and maintain international transparency standards – if you are conducting general business and complying with taxes and regulations it doesn’t present an issue.
