TDS APPLICABILITY ON FOREIGN PURCHASE

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A UK software trading company is asking about their obligation to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) when purchasing software from outside India. The consensus is that TDS is applicable under Section 195 at a rate of 10%, provided the foreign supplier has a PAN card. The TDS should be deducted on the payment date, not the bill date, especially when payment is made later and the amount may fluctuate due to exchange rates.

05 November 2020 Thank you sir. I have one more doubt upon deduction, will TDS Deducted on payment date or bill date??. Here, payment will be made on after two months of bill date.
The payment amount might be varied depends on exchange rate.
