Respected All,
We have a Technical Agreement with our Parent Company (Korea). According to that agreement we can use the TRADEMARK of our Korean Company, here in India. As per agreement,We have to pay some decided Royalty.
If we use the Trademark in India, Is there any tax obligation (Direct Tax or Indiarect Tax). Please Advise.
(As per our previous experience with our China Plant, if we use the korean Trademark, The China Government charged some special tax for that)
Best Regards
