Does the amount paid to a non resident clearing & forwarding agent for the services provided outside India is taxable in India & liable for TDS?
Whether the answer would remain same if payment to that non resident agent was for reimbursement of expenses?
Please answer with the relevant Section of Income Tax Act. |

| As per section 195 of Income tax act 1961, if the payment made outside india to a non resident, but the business is in India or the payment is made for the pupose of services used in India then in that case the same is liable to TDS deduction Here in ur case the same apple & TDS is liable to deduct Now comig to reimbursement of expenses it depends on case to case basis like if the payment made regularly then TDS liab. occur and the rest depend on your own judgment
