Hi, I am a salaried Indian Resident and want to appear for the PMP certification examination held by PMI Institute USA. The examination fee is 405 US $ and the membership fee is 149 US $. While making the payment to PMI for the above-said certification examination the PMI institute is charging me 99.72 US $ as TAX, which is exactly 18% (GST %) of the total amount payable i.e. 554 US $. Please advise on the following : 1. Is TAX applicable for examination fees and membership fees also? If not, then how can I claim the paid TAX amount? 2. If I make the payment can I claim an income tax deduction while filing income tax returns for the FY 2023-24?
