Hi Malcome,
Regarding **TDS deduction on payments to foreign companies**, here’s the general guidance:
### 1. Professional fees paid to a foreign company:
* **TDS rate** under **Section 195** is generally **10%** (plus applicable surcharge and cess).
* However, the exact rate depends on the **Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA)** between India and the foreign company’s country.
* Professional fees often attract **10% plus surcharge and education cess** (if applicable).
### 2. Service maintenance work done by foreign company:
* Again, **Section 195** applies here.
* TDS rate is typically **10% plus surcharge and cess**, unless a different rate is specified under DTAA.
* If it qualifies as royalties or technical fees under the DTAA, different rates may apply.
---
### Important Points:
* **Surcharge and Education Cess** apply on TDS amount.
* From April 1, 2009, **surcharge (2% or 5%) and cess (3%)** are applicable on TDS deducted on payments to non-residents.
* You should check if the foreign company has a **Tax Residency Certificate (TRC)** to avail lower DTAA rates.
* Deduct TDS **before remittance** and deposit with Indian tax authorities.
* File **Form 27Q** (quarterly TDS return for non-residents).
