In my openion provisions of section 195 h. i.e tds shoul be deducted 10.3%. apply if the agreement made after 1st june 2005 and the recepaint ia a non - resident non - corporate person .

In my view since service is rendered outside India and payment also made outside India TDS deduction is not required. No Tax Liability of service provider as he is providing service in Germany and receiving the payment there. His income is accruing in Germany and also received there. So no tax liability arises.

Continuing Gupta Ji, since the Non Resident gave services outside India and never stayed in India, receives payment outside India and has no permanent base in India or any other permanent establishment in India, income itself is not taxable in India and ,therefore ,TDS provisions is also not applicable.
