We are an Indian based company and provided technical services [software services] to a company in Tanzania. While processing the payments, the client has been deducting 15% from the value as withholding tax (WHT) as per taxation agreement between India and Tanzania [DTAA].
We only get the service amount after deduction of withholding tax (WHT) at 15%.
The Tanzanian company is willing to issue us the certificate for this deduction.
Please let me know how we could claim back the withheld amount at the time of filing of our company returns, do we have to file any forms for this?.
