17 September 2009 Yes TDS is applicable , Attention to Sec 195 of IT Act .Rate applicable @ 10 % , if the payment is made to a foreign company , SC should be levied @ 2.5% ( if income of Foreign company exceeds INR 10 Million ) and EC should be levied @ 3 % , however in case of other non residents only EC of 3 % is to be levied along with the basic rate . Also obtain 15CB for confirmation of tax rates . Check the DTAA with Australia.
