AI Summary

TDS on Foreign Salaries: Section 192 Applies, No Liability if Income Below Rs. 1.8 Lakhs, Deductions Under Section 80C. A query was raised regarding tax deduction at source (TDS) on salaries paid in foreign currencies by an Indian company to a non-resident employee from Malaysia. The employee receives a net salary of Rs. 14,000 per month. The response clarified that section 192, not section 195, applies, and the taxability depends on where the employee is rendering services. Since the net income does not exceed the minimum taxable limit of Rs. 1.8 lakhs, there is no TDS liability. Additionally, the non-resident employee is eligible for deductions under section 80C.
