Form 15CA and 15CB Filing involves the compliance filings required for certain payments made to non-residents, to ensure applicable tax has been accounted for. While the process itself is usually straightforward, businesses commonly run into avoidable issues along the way. Here are the mistakes we see most often, and how to steer clear of them.
Mistake 1
Assuming small remittances are automatically exempt without checking.
Mistake 2
Skipping the CA certification where it's actually required.
Mistake 3
Incorrect classification of the remittance purpose.
Mistake 4
Not retaining copies of filed forms for future reference.
How to Avoid These Issues
Most of these mistakes come down to preparation. Having the right documents ready — Nature and purpose of the remittance, Amount and currency of payment, Applicable tax treaty position, if relevant, among others — and understanding the process before you start goes a long way toward a smooth outcome with the Income Tax Department's e-filing system for foreign remittances.
