This transaction is not frequent.Once in year it will take place. For e.g.(In INR).Prof Fees is Rs.100 FEU@20% i.e.Rs.20 Net amount is Rs.80 transfer his bank account. What is accounting entry and tax treatment in our books of account? Is there any exemtion for tax & income?

Deduction U/s 80RR is available to the individual in respect of his income from foreign sources. * In this case Income +TDS (FETDS) has to be considered as Income in the hand of the assessee. Tax will be computed as if it is an Indian Income and Tax Relief will be given to the extent of lower of the actual amount of FETDS or Average Tax Rate.
* As in the case of TDS, a separate TDS Account is opened. Likewise in case of FETDS you may open FETDS A/c and pass Journal Entries in the similar manner as you are doing for Indian Income.
