If the foreign company has permanent establishment (PE) in India, then tax rate will be normal tax rate (Section 44DA).

If the foreign company does not have PE in India, then tax rate will be 10% (section 115A).

The foreign company will have to furnish the name, email-id,contact number, address outside India, Certificate of residence of Ireland (if any), Tax identification no. of Ireland/ unique number (CBDT notification related to Sec 206AA). If these are not furnished, then TDS rate at 20% to be considered.

The TDS will have to be deducted under section 195...since payment is made to foreign company, surcharge and health and education cess will also need to be considered for the applicable rate. Also if DTAA rate is available, then lower of DTAA rate or rate in force to be considered.

In short, TDS will need to be deducted in the above case.
