This often leads to people getting multiple citizenships and taking benefits of both countries. This movement of people around has also had huge implications on the tax system. Different countries have different tax systems and so when a person works in a different country he has to face double taxations. It has thus become a  major issue regarding the Income Tax for NRIs in India.

Double taxation, in general, happens in various cases where the person is working in a foreign country. The person has to pay tax in both the working country as well as the home country because of his tax obligations. This taxation is sometimes so high that international jobs become expensive to pursue.
