Accountant Seeks Guidance on Tax Implications for Payments to Latvia and Benin Under Sections 9 and 195 of IT Act. An accountant from a logistics company sought advice on making payments to countries without a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), specifically Latvia and Benin. The concern was about the tax implications under Indian law for a payment of USD 3,200 to Latvia and USD 740 to Benin, intended for freight or delivery charges. A chartered accountant advised that without a DTAA, tax would be levied as applicable to non-residents, and the nature of the payment should be examined under Sections 9 and 195 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, to determine tax liability.
