How are gains on Shoei Foods shares taxed in India?
Japan generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors, so the tax is an India-side one. Gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%. Gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is computed in rupees using the JPY/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Shoei Foods price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Shoei Foods pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. Shoei Foods pays a dividend and the current yield is 1.78%; the last declared dividend was ¥75.00 per share, about ₹45.93. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Japan withholds a preferential 10% on dividends for Indian residents under the India–Japan DTAA rather than the higher domestic rate, and the tax withheld can be claimed as a foreign tax credit in India.

Japan levies inheritance tax on Japan-located assets such as direct stocks, with an exemption of ¥30 million plus ¥6 million per statutory heir. It applies to your overall holdings in that jurisdiction rather than to any one position.
Do I have to declare Shoei Foods shares in my Indian tax return?
Yes. Foreign shares held on 31 March must be reported in Schedule FA of your Indian income-tax return. Paasa gives you a Schedule FA-ready statement listing your Shoei Foods holding, its cost and its closing value.
