I am moving to Cambodia for a long-term assignment. I am told that India does not have a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with that country. Will I have to include my income in Cambodia in the India tax return as well, and pay tax on it again in India?

Since you are moving to Cambodia for a long term, you may no longer be resident of India for tax purposes. Please check the conditions that apply to see whether you will be a tax resident in India for the said financial year. Do note that income earned in India will continue to be taxed in India even when you are a non-resident in India. Therefore, you will have to file a tax return in India. Non resident Indians (NRIs) do not have to include income earned abroad in their tax returns filed in India. It is likely that your total income will be taxable in Cambodia according to local laws. If there is no DTAA between two countries, the taxpayers may claim benefit of section 91 relief.
