05 August 2010 Following requirements
1. TRC Certificate(Tax residency certificate-which shows that the vendor is the Tax Resident of the country he claims to belong to)
2. NPE (No Permanent Establishment Certificate-given by the vendor in their letter head. The validity period is also mentioned sometimes.)
3. Contract Copy or the extract of the payment detail portion and rate of Royalty, of the contract
4. Invoice

• The contract / nature of payment will determine the rate of TDS recovery. This may be as per Income tax Act or as per DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement).First we check the applicability of DTAA. If the rate as per DTAA is more than IT Rate, then we deduct tax as per IT Rate. If there is no TRC, but the NPE is available, the rate of deduction will be as per the IT rate.
