To Wannabe Flyer::
Yes I do understand how tax codes work. In the USA you would pay almost that much tax on that type of salary,but....... and this is the big difference.
In the US I could write off all my expenses, training, travel basically anything that pertains to the job.....so at the end of the year the IRS would give me allot of that back, at least half. As a foreign pilot working in a foreign county I don't think I could file any kind of deductions with them. They are basically just going to keep the entire amount.
As in the US if you are not a citizen and you are here on a contract the IRS is just going to take your money, you cannot file unless you are a citizen, I can't believe its any different in India. The IRS is not going to give me money back on taxes I paid somewhere else.
If this is incorrect I would like to be wrong:
