We are going to make payment of rent to non-resident for the property based in singapore, kindly clarify under which section and what rate should be applied for TDS deduction.
I suggest that u deduct TDS,since the nature of payment is rent and TDS has to be deducted under section 194I.also i am attaching a TDS calculator with this.
