24 August 2026 We are an Indian company supplying manpower/services to a customer in Saudi Arabia, from whom 15% tax has been deducted from our payment.
Please clarify what this 15% international/withholding tax represents and under which Saudi tax provision it has been deducted.
Also, please confirm whether this tax is applicable to our manpower supply services under the India–Saudi DTAA.
Finally, please advise whether the 15% tax deducted can be refunded/recovered from Saudi Arabia or claimed as Foreign Tax Credit in India
