Yes U/s. 195 The rate of Tax 30%  for Ind. Payee and 40% for Domestic Co.(Payee)

yes,it is taxable whether it is resident or non resident.

Please comment if anything contrary view to this: Income deemed to accrue or arise in India- Foreign agent – Commission - Business connection -Permanent establishment. (S. 4(1), 40(a)(ia), 195)Where a foreign agent of an Indian exporter operates in his own country and his commission is directly remitted to him. Such commission is not received by him or in his behalf in India, then such agent is not liable to income tax in India on commission received by him. As there was no right to receive income earned in India nor there was any business connection between assessee and ETUK, therefore, when income was not chargeable to tax in India under section 4(1), there was no question of invoking provisions of section 195 hence no disallowance can be made under section 40(a)(ia). (A.Y. 2007-08). Dy. CIT v. Eon Technology (P) Ltd. (2011) 46 SOT 323 (Delhi)(Trib.) Editorial: Affirmed by CIT. Eon Technology (P) Ltd. (2011) 203 Taxman 266 / 64 DTR 257 (Delhi)(High Court)
