Dear Sir, Recently we have applied for patent in UK and US. Now we need to pay them but the UK firm is partnership & India UK DTAA says no patnership firm is registered with the UK gov., but the member of the patnership firm is resident of UK. For filling the 15 CB form, we don't know exact what reasoning should be given so that no tax is deducted. According to DTAA article 15, the reason can be given as Independent Personal services, but the payment will be done in name of the firm. Please clarify so that we can make arrangements for the same.
Also Sir, is PE certificate required for Individual (*again for 15CB form)
