25 December 2010 1 & 2 If the foreigner does not have PAN in India, then rates of witholding tax shall be 20% irrespective of the provisions of Income tax or DTAA, as appears u/s 206AA.
3. Practising CA are authorised to sign on the Form 15CB, then only the person / assessee can make the payment to the foreign vendor.

SERVICE TAX MAY ALSO ATTRACT UNDER DEEMED SERVICES.

25 December 2010 I beg to differ since the money expended is being used to earn income from source outside India.Hence in view there is no liability to deduct TDS in the present case.
