Sir, but I want to know that if I want to pay commission to a person or company outside India, do I have to pay by deducting 5% TDS in terms of section 194H of TDS or I have to pay under any other section of TDS or TCS and do I have to take PAN of the foreign buyer or company or anything else and what do I have to show in the TDS or TCS return?
Secondly, Sir, if I pay professional fees to a person or company outside India, do I have to pay by deducting 10% TDS under section 194J of TDS or I have to follow the provision of TDS or TCS under any other section? If yes, what information do I have to take from the foreign person or company so that what government information do I have to give in my TDS and TCS return so that the return can also be filed?
Please explain my question through an example and also tell me about the accounting entries and accounting standards. This is my humble request to you.

TDS is applicable on foreign payments or charges as per section 195 of the Income Tax Act. Commission paid to overseas agents that do not have PEs in India and carry out all functions outside India, will not attract TDS. Commission paid to overseas agents situated wholly abroad, is not taxable in India. 20% TDS under section 195 applicable for professional fees paid to person outside India.
