Why UK Tax May Still Apply

UK tax residents may need to declare worldwide income to HMRC. The UK–India Double Taxation Convention may allow relief for Indian tax already paid. India participates in international tax information-sharing arrangements, meaning overseas financial information may be available to HMRC.
