26 September 2010 Dear Experts,
If a person receives professional fees from a person resident outside India, then 20% is deducted by the payer.
This leads the payee left with payment which is not adjustable or refundable( 20% deducted by the payer).
Is there any way by which the 20% tax deducted by the payer, can be deducted at lower rate, with the prescribed form for doing the same.
Plz provide the complete detail asap.

Thnx in advance.

27 September 2010 What do you mean by person resident outside india.

I understand , Tax is being deducted in another country as per the law of land. If it so, Whether the country have DTAA with india.

PLZ send more details, becoz incase of international taxation , small information are important for taxation.

Another thing , whether service has been provided in india. The payee can aplly under rule 28AA , u/s 197 for lower rate of deuction.
