Black Money Act – Undisclosed Foreign Income & Assets

The Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015 provides a separate tax framework in India for undisclosed foreign income and assets in specified circumstances.

With increasing international exchange of financial and tax information, Indian tax residents with overseas income, investments and assets need to carefully consider their foreign asset disclosure and Indian tax compliance obligations.

KPD & Associates provides professional Black Money Act Advisory in Mumbai, assisting individuals, entrepreneurs, HNIs and businesses with foreign asset disclosure, tax notices, compliance reviews and representation before the appropriate tax authorities.

What is the Black Money Act?

The Black Money Act, 2015 was introduced to address certain cases involving undisclosed foreign income and assets and provides a separate framework for taxation and related consequences.

Issues can arise where a taxpayer has an interest in overseas assets or income that has not been appropriately disclosed or dealt with under applicable Indian tax laws.

  • Foreign bank accounts
  • Overseas investments
  • Foreign securities
  • Overseas immovable property
  • Foreign trusts
  • Other foreign assets
  • Foreign-source income
  • Beneficial interests in overseas structures
  • Foreign financial accounts

The applicability of the law depends on the taxpayer's residential status, nature of the asset or income, disclosure history and other relevant facts.
