Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the necessity of obtaining a TAN number and filing Forms 15CA/CB for foreign currency payments made by a proprietorship. It addresses whether TDS needs to be deducted for payments to foreign freelancers, considering Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) like the one with Thailand. The consensus is that a TAN is generally required if the payment is subject to TDS, though forms can sometimes be filed without it.

If the foreign currency payment is subject to TDS, then TAN would be required. Form 15CA/CB can be filed without mentioning TAN.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Actually the payment is to be made to a freelancer translator in Thailand. he does not have any permanent establishment in India. Can you please suggest on the tds deduction. i mean do we need to deduct tds or not.

Yes TAN is required in your case...

Hi, 

But I have seen many articles that say that payment for translation services does not require TDS deduction. 

Also, I have seen DTAA with Thailand...can't we go with the article 14 of the DTAA with Thailand and deduct no tds.

Yes.. rightly said by Sanjeev. Same opinion from my side too.
