Section 195 casts a responsibilty on the payer to deduct tax at source from any payment of interest or other sum (other than salary ), which is chargeable to tax under the income-tax Act. If the income is chageable to tax in India, then only the person making payment to non-resident is liable to deduct tax at source under section 195.Reimbursement of expenses to a non-resident on cost to cost basis does not have any element of income. Therefore, there is no requirement to deduct tax at source.
