I left my US accounts (bank/trading) active when I returned 4 years back. They are active and I can trade in those accounts. I am settled in India and want to know if I trade in US market residing in India, how and where do I pay tax?

I searched and many has mentioned people are trading in US markets sitting in India, but no body has talked about tax payments (at least I could not find such thread).

I contacted few CAs but no proper answer. Some says, to avoid risk, pay tax in US and also in India (which obviously is not practical). Some says, pay tax in US and you have to pay in India only when you bring the fund here. None of them are confident, hence I am still seeking answer for this.

Appreciate if anyone has any insight about this.

As you are in India now you should least bother about taxes and better concentrate on trading instead. CAs have provided you with ambiguous solutions so no point worrying about tax in India. Choice is yours!

I agree choice is mine and I chose to find out what is the legal thing to do :). IMHO I would like to keep the tax part clean, hence started this....
