We are deducting TDS on payment made to a foreign company. How do we file TDS return as company does not have PAN in India. What PAN is to be mentioned in TDS return?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the challenge of filing TDS returns when making payments to a foreign company that does not possess an Indian PAN. It clarifies that Section 206AA mandates PAN submission for both residents and non-residents receiving taxable income in India. The core question remains: what PAN should be entered in the TDS return for a deductee without an Indian PAN, as the standard 20% TDS rate is not the primary concern here.

Section 206AA was introduced from FY 2010-11. Section 206AA requires every taxpayer who receives taxable income to furnish their PAN to the payer of such income. This applies to both the resident as well as non-resident recipients. The payments in case of residents would include salary, rent, professional receipts, contractual receipts and so on. In the case of non-resident, these would include all receipts that are taxable in India.

If PAN is not available then 20% tds will be deducted
