596 views 5 replies

Dear Sir,
Please guide me on the applicability of tax on the following:
If a Indian company makes a payment in the nature of Fee for developing website/software to a Non resident in india also NRI has place of business in India.
Also note that invoice raised in INR and payment also made in INR.

Go to the section 195 of Income tax.. section 192 to 194la does not applied here...

TDS deductible u/s 195 because the feee for developing software constitute fee for technical services accruing in india to NRI as the services to be used to create a source of income in india ....See  Sec 9(1)(vii) of the Act.

Such income is deemed to accrue or arise in india and thus taxable under section 9(1)(vii). Tds needs to be deducted at the rate of 25% but if DTAA provisions arise then at 10%.

First you have to check whether it falls under the defination of  fee for technical serviese or not as per section 9(1)(vii).If,so then income would be taxable and TDS would be deducted as per rate prescribed under section 195 or relavant treaty (if there is treaty with other contracting state) whichever is benificial. If such income is not FTS as per Sec 9.then it would be business income as you have mentioned it has PE in india .then.no tax would be dedcutible on such payment.
