26 June 2014Dear Sir,
Please guide me on the applicability of tax on the following:
If a Indian company makes a payment in the nature of Fee for developing website/software to a Non resident in india also NRI has place of business in India.
Also note that invoice raised in INR and payment also made in INR.

First you have to check whether it falls under the defination of fee for technical serviese or not as per section 9(1)(vii).If,so then income would be taxable and TDS would be deducted as per rate prescribed under section 195 or relavant treaty (if there is treaty with other contracting state) whichever is benificial. If such income is not FTS as per Sec 9.then it would be business income as you have mentioned it has PE in india .then.no tax would be dedcutible on such payment.
