Country-specific answers
Start with the situation you actually have
Australian super and return planning
Australia is a notified country for Section 158 relief, but an Australian superannuation account is not automatically eligible. Confirm the exact account, when and where it was opened, Australian withdrawal taxation, Indian residence and the Form 40 option before modelling deferral.
Australia foreign tax credit and Form 44 (formerly Form 67)
Australian tax should be matched to the income that India taxes for the selected residence year. The source-level Indian credit is constrained by both the foreign tax actually borne and Indian tax attributable to that source.
