Dear Sir, We have imported 2 consignment & our CHA paid Detention on our behalf as per details given below :- 1) Rs. 35710/- paid to MAERSK Line (Foreign co.) & issue us debit note for the same.
2) Rs. 31485/- paid to The Shipping Corporation of India Ltd. (Indian Co.) & issue us debit note for the same. My question is :-
1) In first case there is no TDS liability to us as MAERSK LINE is Foreign co.
2) In second case payment made to The Shipping Corporation of India Ltd. We should deduct TDS on this payment. As our CHA paid on our behalf, should we deduct the same on payment made to CHA against their Debit Note.
3) We often reimburse expenses of our CHA, if their account cross the limit of Rs. 75000/- (Payment made to Foreign Co. & Indian Co.), should we deduct TDS or separate maintain account for payment made to Foreign Co. & Indian Co.
