We are paying Professional Fees for Preparation of Documents and other services outside of India i.e. in Dubai but we are paying them from India 

As per my point of view TDS will be nill as per Article 14 between India and Dubai DTAA 

IT DOESNT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.YOU HAVE TO DEDUCT TDS ON PAYMENTS MADE TO NON RESIDENT PERSON OUTSIDE INDIA.FOR THIS U REQUIRED 15CB , 15CA FROM CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT IN PRACTICE.

Very clearly explained by Rajiv

Yes 15 CB is must for payments of any professional fees but the question of TDS, wheather TDS will be liable or not 

THE LIABILITY IS ON CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT WHO SIGN FORM 15CA.U HAVE TO DEDUCT TDS IN CASE OF PAYMENT MADE TO NON RESIDENT.ARTICLE 14 DOES NOT STATE U DONT HAVE TO DEDUCT TDS.

Rajive, we are taking all the services in Dubai and as per Article 14-

Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of professional services or other independent activities of a similar character shall be taxable only in that State,

MR. KANHAIYALAL , U CAN GO WITH UR VIEW POINT BUT MY VIEW POINT IS SAME.IF U DONT DEDUCT TDS, LIABILITY WILL BE ON U TO EXPLAIN WHY U DIDNT DEDUCT TDS.ON A SAFER SIDE, U SHOULD MAKE PAYMENT AFTER DEDUCTING TDS.

I agree you Mr. Kanhaiyalal Gupta, your contention is true in respect of your query.

"ARTICLE 14 - Independent personal services

1. Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State in respect of professional services or other independent activities of a similar character shall be taxable only in that State, except in the following circumstances when such income may also be taxed in the other Contracting State :

(a)  if he has a fixed base regularly available to him in the other Contracting State for the purpose of performing his activities; in that case, only so much of the income as is attributable to that fixed base may be taxed in that other Contracting State ; or

(b)  if his stay in the other Contracting State is for a period or periods amounting to or exceeding in the aggregate 183 days in the relevant "previous year" or "year of income", as the case may be; in that case only so much of the income as is derived from his activities performed in that other State may be taxed in that other State.

2. The term "professional services" includes independent scientific, literary, artistic, educational or teaching activities as well as the independent activities of physicians, surgeons, lawyers, engineers, architects, dentists and accountants."
