A Clearing & Forwarding Co.in India pays USD 10,000 to an Air Freight Co. in Jamaica for moving its Client's spare parts between various overseas locations.(Charges recovered from client) India does not have DTAA with Jamaica. U/s 195 it appears that 40% TDS ought to be deducted while remitting these charges. It this a correct interpretation of the law?

Sir, 30.9% appears to be for Non Corporate Non Resident. In this case the Non Resident payee is a Corporate which seems to be 40%. Is that right?

Thanks. But if this same payment was to be made by the overseas branch of the Indian Co. to the Non Resident Corporate, would they have to deduct TDS? This does not sound right. Any thoughts on this?

The entire income of the Air Fright company is not an income. In this situation one can apply to Income tax officer for income determination u/s 195(2) of the act.
