Dear Sir / Madam,
For many years we’ve been working with Indian reinsurance companies & brokers from India and each year we’re asking our Indian partners for Tax Residence Certificates in order to avoid their double taxation. Such documents in Form 10FB are asked to be provided in hard copy, which is manually signed, as requested by the Tax and Duties Ministry of the Republic of Belarus. But recently we’ve noticed that Indian companies are not able to provide us with manually signed copies and only provision of digital version of TRC is possible.
Therefore hereby we’re interested if Tax Residence Certificates in Form 10FB are provided in digitally signed version only at the moment.
Could you please share the link to the official sources, where it is confirmed that Income Tax Department of India are now issuing TRCs in digital format only.
This apparently will help us to persuade Belarusian tax authorities to accept digitally signed copies of TRCs.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
Kirill Rudoy
