Priya ,
Since the receipient is outside india , he advertises outside india , no part of his income is deemed to be accrued in india . I think Sec 5 is not attracted . Sec 195 read with sec 5 is also not attracted . TDS not to be deducted , since no part of his income is deemed to accrue in india .
Read Circular no 786 dated feb 2000 , for export agents , and earlier circular no 23 dated 1969 . I think TDS shouldnt be deducted on any NRI payment unless the income is deemed to accrue in india --senior opinion needed
EG : If i pay google "x" dollars to advertise my product in latin america and europe . I dont think google is liable to pay tax on that amount in india , how can TDS be deducted , under what pretext ?
