14 January 2010 The applicable rate for witholding tax is as per Sec 115A. It will be 10% + surcharge + E.cess. Sucharge will be applicable if the payment to non resident exceeds Rs. 1Crore during the F.Y. E.Cess is to mandatorily deducted on payment to non residents. Hence the applicable rate will be 10.5575% where surcharge is applicable or 10.3% where surcharge is not applicable.
