Presntly she want to remit about Rs.1.50 lacs to publihser in America, who does not have any place of business in India. She does not have any TAN number and the foreign publisher does not have PAN.

Under the circumstances, does she required to deduct withholding tax?.

31 March 2011 For publishing the book, publisher has few package like bronze, silver, gold, platinum etc. with different rates and marketing efforts, advertisement etc. We have opted for one package - gold and need to send money. Once with this efforts, when books is published and starts selling, we will get 61% of sale price and 39% will be shared by publisher.

31 March 2011 In my opinion the same shall not be taxable in India. Kindly make sure to obtain NO PE Certificate from the foreign publisher .
