TDS on rent to non-resident must be deducted at domestic or treaty rates when the payment is taxable under law.
Payment of rent to a non-resident attracts TDS u/s 195 when the amount is chargeable to tax; the payer must deduct tax at source at the rates prescribed by domestic law or, if applicable and beneficial, the rates under a double taxation avoidance agreement. (AI Summary)
