Jetair-Foreign pilots facing new problems? Tax matter.
Heard through the grapevine that around 30+ pilots (777& 330 fleet)from the US & Europe are facing a problem about the taxes that Jetair was to bear for the pilots initially to the Govt. of India on their behalf. The Pilots would then receive from Jetair the tax credit in order to submit to their respective countries. However, it was realized that because these pilots would not be staying in India for more than 180 days, tax to the Indian Govt. was not applicable. With this new development 30+ pilots are waiting for this issue to be resolved-With a salary of US$11,000.00, if foreign pilots have to shell out taxes in the US & Europe with their present taxation, they would have to shell out around $ 3000. to 5000 US$.
Anyone aware of the above and can shed some light on this issue?
