Withholding tax on cross-border consultancy fees may not apply where foreign company lacks a permanent establishment in India.
Withholding tax under section 195 is not required on design fees paid to a Singapore consultancy for a personal residential house where the foreign company has no Permanent Establishment (PE) in India; the DTAA exemption provision supports that result. (AI Summary)
