Export Company Questions TDS Deduction on Commission to Non-Resident Agent Under Section 195; Clarification Advised A company exporting goods to France queries about the necessity of deducting TDS under Section 195 for commission payments to a non-resident agent without a permanent establishment in India. Expert advice suggests that TDS may not be required since the income is not deemed to accrue in India, supported by past legal precedents. However, the withdrawal of a supporting circular complicates the issue, and applying for clarification from the Assessing Officer is recommended. Direct payment of commission by the buyer is not allowed per RBI regulations. Another company faces a similar situation and seeks updates on the resolution. (AI Summary)
