This query is : Resolved 

09 May 2012 The reply in the below mentioned query would be appreciated :

the query is as under

A company registered in Russia and doing some geological survey work for a company registered in India.

The Indian company mentioning that if the Russian company is having PE in India than Withholding tax would be deducted at 40% and if there is no PE in India of Russian company than the rate of withholding tax would be 10%.

Is this possible???

Kindly give the relevant extracts of statues

10 May 2012 It s correct that if there is Pe rate would be 40%. Also such Pe needs to file their income tax return in India.

11 May 2012 Dear Nitesh

1) Any project office in india whose tenure exceeds 180 days is termed as PE & in that case one has to deduct withholding tax which is normally the maximum rate of tax i.e. 40%.

2) If it is not a PE the we have to deduct withholding tax @ 10% - which is known as FTS (Fee for technical services).

3) Further PE has to file the income tax return & get his accounts audited u/s 44AB (if applicable).

4) Do refer DTAA with Russia :
