09 December 2021 1 yes, you have to pay TDS in Japan under fees for technical service under Article 12.
2 yes, relief can be claimed for the TDS in the tax payable in India ( tax payable in India can be reduced to the extent of TDS in Japan)
3 No advantage or disadvantage. You have to comply with tax rules.

09 December 2021 Thank you so much for your Quick reply.
1. Even though we are not giving any technical service to them, is it mandatory to pay TDS in Japan or can we request the Japanese company to pay us fully and pay the taxes in India under Article 7.

2.We are also helping other clients in similar manner, they have not Deducted any TDS from us.

3. If we have to pay the TDS of 10% in Japan doesn't it disrupt the cash flow for the exporter to export the product to parent company?

4.What is the best way to not pay the TDS in Japan and pay the taxes India in that way we wont be having cash flow problem.

5. How long it takes for us claim the TDS in India, what are the documents that we take it from Japanese company?
