TDS on Non-resident Payments
Payments made to non-residents are subject to specialised withholding tax provisions under the Income Tax Act, 1961, and applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs). Determining the correct tax deduction requires careful analysis of the nature of the payment, residential status of the recipient, treaty benefits, and regulatory requirements. Incorrect withholding may result in interest, penalties, and disallowance of expenses.
At Ritesh Arora & Associates, we provide comprehensive advisory services to help businesses comply with withholding tax provisions for cross-border payments while minimising regulatory risks.
