I want clarity on the following:

My client is a private limited company. He wants to deploy a manager who will travel overseas for work. He will be provided salary. Also, the employer is willing to provide accomodation to him as he may have to stay there for few days or Months.

So, what will be taxability of salary in hands of manager if he is a resident and in case he becomes a non - resident due to extended stay beyond 182 days.

Also, what will be the TDS deductions in case of resident and NR and under which section?

Will the private limited company get the expenses as business expenditure?

Pls advise.
