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 .
