One of our client is rendering internet advertising services for foreign clients. My client is a partnership firm.
Our client also paying for some services to non resident individuals. This amount is in small sums varying from $5 to $40 paid thro credit card of one of the partners. The number of such payment are around 20 to 25 per month.

We would like to know that, whether TDS is applicable U/s 195
If yes, to whom the firm or the partner
Please guide me with reference to sections and case laws.

Assuming that the petty payments are made by the partner to the foreign service providers.
The recipients are non residents and paid out side India for the income which is arising to them outside India.
In my view as the income of NR Recipients is no way taxable in India.
Let's have a view of foreign tax experts also in this regard.

Yes, TDS under Section 195 is applicable even for small payments made to non-residents if the payment is chargeable to tax in India under the Income Tax Act, subject to relevant DTAA and beneficial provisions.
Whether TDS is applicable does not depend on the mode of payment or the amount, but on the nature of the payment and whether it's taxable in India.
