HI,

 

An indian company needs to make payment to a Non Resident as a commission for the hotel bookings arranged for the indian company hotels based in INdia.

 

Will tds would be levied ?

 

Issue is as the asset is based in India will it would be assumed income has accrued in India?

yes tds provisions will be attracted and if you are making remmittance outside india then u have to file form 15CA with  a certificate in 15CB 

Hi Preeti

TDS should be deducted u/s 195.

The income will fall under the purview of section 9 and will be treated as indian income.

TDS should not be deducted in the present situation, but the same is subject to relavent Treaty. If there is no treaty then situation might change .

Mere having an asset in india shall not make the income accrued in India. Here the services were renederd outside India and therefore the income shall not be accrued in india.

Hello Anuj,

Which clause in the treaty would need to be seen?  Can you please explain?

Since the hotel room is an asset  or source of income in India - will it not come under the purview of Section 9(1)(i)?  

Also is there any caselaws to support the non-deduction of tax at source? 

 

Kindly advise asap.

Hi Vinita,

 

it feels great to have such thought provoking questions, which lift the overall standard of CCI to great heights.

Yes hotel room rents shall constitute an asset  or source of income in India - and it will come under the purview of Section 9(1)(i), but the Treaty shall come to our rescue .

Kindly read Article 7 read with Article 5 of the relavent treaty, the situation shall be clear by itself.

Hi CA Anuj Sir

 

1.So as per the Article 7, only if the Foreign Body(for whom the payment is made) has presence in  india, it will be considered as income is accrued in india right??

2. as per new rule of 37BB of Income Tax Act, whether 15CA and CB has to be submitted if the payments for imports exceed Rs. 5,00,000? please clarify
