Hello,

We are paying know how fees to a Company in Germany (Registered  in Germany) & deducting tax at the applicable rates. (Presently @ 20% since they do not have PAN number in India).

India & Germany has signed DTAA. Can the German Company claim this TDS amount in their annual tax return? If yes, is there any separate procedures to be followed by us in India to help them claiming this Tax? 

Thanks for your time & advise
