Dear Expert
Please advise regarding TDS made or not on service charges if any proffesional service provider ( Photographer ) not any branch in india . Also advice if TDS made which rate of TDS applicable in above case.
Both Case
Foreign proffesional if no any branch in India
If branch in india
TDS on professional services: companies must withhold tax when paying foreign service providers; domestic branch invokes specified withholding provision. Tax deduction at source (TDS) arises on payments for professional services by a foreign service provider when the payer is a company; the company must deduct tax at source regardless of whether the provider has an Indian branch. If the foreign professional maintains a branch in India, the withholding is to be effected under section 194J. (AI Summary)
