Income tax implications on RSUs or ESPPs 🚀

What are the income tax implications on RSUs? How are my stock grants taxed? How to disclose my RSUs disclosed in Schedule FA? So many questions - let's dive right in!

A THREAD
First, let's address the elephant in the room - "India and XYZ country have a DTAA. So I don't need to pay tax on my RSUs right?". Simple answer? This is completely wrong. If your advisor or friend tells you this, run like hell.

Assets outside India💰

Continue to hold. You can hold, own, transfer or invest in foreign currency, foreign security or any immovable property situated outside India if such assets was acquired, held or owned by you when you were a non-resident or was inherited from non-resident
Pro-tip:

Be mindful of income tax regulations that determine scope of total income. You want to minimize tax paid in India on overseas assets and avoid double taxation. Plan your investments and date of return in the most tax efficient manner.

How does a DTAA work?

We've heard this so many times - "India and XYZ country have a DTAA. So I don't need to pay tax on this income right?"

A THREAD
Before we start, let's clear one thing up - A Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) is NOT a magic wand that makes your tax liability go away.

Now that we have this out of the way, let's tackle the beast that is the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement.
We're going to use the India-US DTAA as an example here. DTAAs tend to have similar treatment overall (but obviously, if you ask a CA, we see a million differences between DTAAs with different countries).
