When an Indian company pays advertisement fees to **Facebook (a foreign company)**, TDS provisions under **Section 195** of the Income Tax Act apply because the payment is made to a non-resident.
### Key points:
* **Nature of payment:** Advertisement service fees.
* **TDS section:** Section 195 (Payment to non-resident).
* **TDS rate:** Generally **10%** on the gross amount (payment made).
* **TDS to be deducted on:** The **gross payment amount** (total invoice value before any deductions).
* **Note:** If DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) between India and USA (Facebook’s jurisdiction) provides a lower rate, that can be applied if a valid Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) is furnished.
---
### Example:
* Invoice from Facebook for ad services: ₹1,00,000
* TDS @ 10% = ₹10,000 to be deducted and paid to the government.
* Payment made to Facebook = ₹90,000 after TDS deduction.
