03 July 2011 The exact nature of expenses for which the payment has been made by the US parent company needs to be seen.

Presume that if the expenses had been paid directly then whether any TDS liability would have been there or not.

If the foreign Company is in receipt of any income from India then it is mandatory to file return of income.

04 July 2011 US company does not have any office / branch here at India.
My company is 100% subsidiary of US company.in other words 98% share of my Indian company is owned by US company.

The nature of expenses are reimbursement by nature. WE have bought certain material from one US company ..& my parent company has paid them which later on we have reimbursed to parent company.

The TDS has been deducted on this payment @ 10.55 as our US company have the PAN.

Now please advise whether US company have to file return here in India.

Thanks in anticipation !!

04 July 2011 Yes , as per Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, the US Co. needs to file return of income in India.

Also TP provisions shall also apply in the said transaction including reporting of the transaction in Form 3CEB.
