Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm importing rights to telecast a cartoon program from China. i.e., I get the rights to telecast a cartoon which is produced in China. I'm buying it from the person in China and dubbing it in Indian languages and telecasting in India.
While making payment the seller in China, should I deduct TDS? What is the rate of TDS if it is applicable?
For this import, is IGST applicable? If yes, what is rate of IGST?
