India aur Canada ke taxes mei kya antar hai? // Taxes in Canada vs. India 

Canada aur India dono hi ek progressive federal tax system ka istemal karte hain, jisme zyada income wale log zyada tax dete hain. 
Canada mein, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) federal taxes, provincial aur territorial taxes manage karti hai. Canada ke jaise hi, India mein bhi tax rates badhte hue income ke saath badhte hain, lekin wahan koi provincial taxes nahi hain.

Aaiye samajhte hain Canada aur India ke taxes ke bare mein, ek naye immigrant ke nazariye se. 

Both Canada and India use a progressive federal tax system, which means tax rates increase when your income does. 

In Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is responsible for administering both federal taxes and provincial and territorial taxes. Similarly, tax rates in India also increase with rising income, but there are no provincial taxes. 

Let’s look at the key differences:

Tax regimes

Interesting baat yeh hai ki India ke paas do tax regimes hain—old aur new—jo alag-alag tax rates offer karte hain. Maan lete hai aapki saal ki income INR 6,00,000 hai. Agar aapne new tax regime chuna toh apko dena hoga 10% tax. Magar old regime select karne pe apka tax hoga 20%. Iski tulna mein, Canada ek hi federal tax bracket system follow karta hai. 

Interestingly, India has two tax regimes—the old and the new—and each offers different tax rates. For example, your net annual income is INR 6,00,000. Your applicable tax rate will be 10% if you choose the new regime. However, if you select the old one your tax will be calculated at 20%. In comparison, Canada follows a unified federal tax bracket system.  

Maximum tax rate

Canada mein, aapka federal maximum tax rate 33.8% tak ja sakta hai, jo India ke maximum 30% ko paar karta hai. Yeh dhyan rakhna zaroori hai ki Canada mei aapka total tax rate aapke province ke specific rate par depend karta hai. Agar aapki saal ki income $40,000 hai aur aap Ontario mei rehte hai toh apka provincial tax hoga 5.05%. Par agar aap BC resident hai toh tax hoga 5.06%.

In Canada, your federal maximum tax rate might go up to 33.8%, exceeding India’s maximum income tax rate of 30%. It’s important to note that your total tax rate in Canada can vary based on your province’s specific rate. For example, if your annual income is $40,000 in 2023. Your provincial tax as an Ontario resident would be 5.05% but if you’re a BC resident tax would be 5.06%.

Basic personal amount

Agar Canada mei aapki 2023 ki taxable income $15,000 se kam hai, toh aap Basic Personal Amount ka fayda uthakar apna tax payable zero kar sakte hai. India ke new tax regime mein INR 3 lakh aur old regime mein INR 2.5 lakh ka basic exemption limit hai.

In Canada, if your taxable income in 2023 is less than $15,000, you can claim the Basic Personal Amount to reduce your tax payable to zero. India’s new tax regime has a basic exemption limit of INR 3 lakh, whereas the old regime’s limit is INR 2.5 lakh.

Tax forms

Canada ka primary tax form T1 Form hai, jo individual income tax returns ke liye use hota hai. India mein individual taxpayers ke liye saat Income Tax Return (ITR) forms hain, jismein shamil hain ITR 1, ITR 2, ITR 3, ITR 4, ITR 5, ITR 6 and ITR 7.

Canada’s primary tax form is the T1 Form, used for filing individual income tax returns. In India, there are seven Income Tax Return (ITR) forms for individuals—namely, ITR 1, ITR 2, ITR 3, ITR 4, ITR 5, ITR 6, and ITR 7.

Sales tax

Canada mein aapko zyaadatar goods and services par 5% ka federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) pay karna hota hai. India mein bhi aapko GST pay karna padta hai, jo 5%, 12%, 18%, ya 28% hota hai alag-alag goods aur services categories ke liye.

In Canada, you have to pay a federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 5% on most goods and services. You have to pay GST in India as well, usually 5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%, depending on the different categories of goods and services.

Double taxation agreements

Canada aur India ne aapas mei aur kaafi alag desho ke saath tax treaties sign kari hain, taaki agar aap do desho mein income earn kare, toh apko double tax na bharna pade. Yeh treaties decide karte hain ki kaunsa desh konsi type of income ko tax karega.

Both Canada and India have tax treaties with many countries, including each other, to avoid double taxation in case you earn income in two countries. These treaties determine which country has the right to tax specific types of income.

Kya immigrants ko Canada mein tax bharna padta hai? // Do immigrants pay taxes in Canada?

Haan, chahe aap student ho, work permit par hai, refugee ho, ya ek permanent resident, Canada mein income tax dena zaruri hai. Chaliye dekhte hai kya important baatein aapko dhyan mein rakhni chahiye.

Yes, whether you’re a student, worker, refugee, or permanent resident, you have to pay income tax in Canada. Here are the key points to understanding your tax obligations.

  • Nivas stithi // Residency status: Canada mein, aapko apna residency status khud malum karna hai. Aapka income tax obligations aapki nivas stithi par adharit hain, aapki nagarikta ya immigration status par nahi. // In Canada, you are responsible for determining your residency status. Your income tax obligations are based on your residency status, not your citizenship or immigration status.

  • Newcomer ka darja // Newcomer status: Canadian resident banne ke ek saal tak hi CRA apko newcomer to Canada ka darja degi. Resident banne ke lie aapka Canada mei resential ties hona anivarya hai. // The CRA considers you a newcomer to Canada only during the first year of your residency, at which point they assume you will have developed enough residential ties to the country.

  • Income ka vivaran karna // Reporting income: Agar aap ek factual ya deemed resident ho, toh aapko apni domestic aur foreign sources se aayi hui income ko apne tax return mein report karna hoga. Students ko bhi Canadian tax return file karna zaruri hai, chahe unki income kam ho ya na ho. // If you’re a factual or deemed resident, you have to report income from both domestic and foreign sources on your tax return. Students need to file a Canadian tax return even if they have little or no income. 

  • Tax credits aur deductions // Tax credits and deductions: Aap ko kai tarah ke tax credits aur deductions mil sakte hain, jaise ki Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credit, Canada Carbon Rebate aur Canada child benefit (CCB). Inn benefits ka istemal karke aap apna tax amount kam kar sakte hain. Pehle saal mein aapko credits aur deductions milne ke liye, tax return file karne ki zarurat nahi hoti. // You may be eligible for various tax credits and deductions, such as the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credit, Canada Carbon Rebate and Canada child benefit (CCB). You can wait to file a tax return until you become eligible to automatically receive the benefits you are eligible for based on your income or household income.
