29 May 2023 Are we liable to deduct any TDS u/s 195 on payment to foreign consultancy to lawyer for providing legal consultancy regarding case of anti dumping duty filed against us.

Lawyer does not have any permanent establishment nor does it provide any service in India.

If yes @ which rate and benefit of DTAA shall be available to Lawyer or not?
