One of my client is making payment to data center companies located in US and Canada as co -location charges and bandwidtth charges on monthly basis.

Those companies do not have any permanent establishment in India.

So, whether TDS is to be deductible under section 195 , if yes at what rate ?

Whether service tax will be applicable on reverse charge basis?

This is not a payment against royalty, fees for technical service or license fee.
