Indian ITAT rules foreign salary not taxable for non-resident

A Karnataka resident working in South Korea received an income tax notice from Indian authorities. The tax department claimed his salary, paid in dollars and deposited to his NRE account, was taxable in India. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) in Bangalore reviewed the case. It ruled the individual was a non-resident under Indian tax law, making his foreign salary not taxable.
