For interest payments made to a company based in the Netherlands, you need to consider the tax provisions under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and the Netherlands.
1. **Interest Payment to a Company in the Netherlands:** - According to the DTAA between India and the Netherlands, interest payments to a non-resident company are generally subject to a maximum TDS rate of 10% on the gross amount of interest. - If the company does not have a Permanent Account Number (PAN) in India, the TDS rate will be 40% under section 195 of the Income Tax Act.
2. **Preference Share Dividend Payment:** - For dividends paid on preference shares, the TDS rate is typically 10% under section 115-O of the Income Tax Act. - If the dividend is paid to a non-resident entity and they do not have a PAN, the TDS rate will be 40% under section 195.
In summary: - **Interest Payment:** TDS rate will be 10% if the company has a PAN, or 40% if the company does not have a PAN. - **Preference Share Dividend:** TDS rate will be 10% if the entity has a PAN, or 40% if it does not have a PAN.
Ensure to verify the specific provisions in the DTAA and consult a tax professional to confirm the applicable rates and compliance requirements.
