NRIs and Foreign Companies:

Withholding Tax Rates for payments made to Non-Residents
are determined by the Finance Act passed by the Parliament
for various years. The current rates are:

1. Interest - 20% of Gross Amount

2. Dividends - 10%

3. Royalties - 20%

4. Technical Services - 20%

5. Any other Services - Individuals - 30% of net income


Companies/Corporates - 40% of net income

The above rates are general and in respect of the countries
with which India does not have a Double Taxation Avoidance
Agreement (DTAA).

Double Taxation Relief:

India has entered into DTAA with 65 countries including
countries like U.S.A., U.K., Japan, France, Germany, etc.
These agreements provides for relief from the double
taxation in respect of incomes by providing exemption and
also by providing credits for taxes paid in one of the
countries. These treaties are based on the general
principles laid down in the model draft of the Organisation
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) with
suitable modifications as agreed to by the other
contracting countries. In case of countries with which
India has double taxation avoidance agreements, the tax
rates are determined by such agreements.

Withholding tax terminology is popularly used for the word TDS from the amount payable to non-resident companies. Like we deduct TDS in India for various kind of professions, salary, rent, commission, interest etc, we deduct withholding tax from the same kind of charges charged by non residents and pay the deducted withholding tax to the government.

The various rates of WHT for the different kind of charges are as below:

Dividends- 10%
Interest- 20%
Royalties- 20%
Technical Services- 20%
Any other Services :
for Individuals, 30% of net income
for Companies/Corporates - 40% of net income

These rates are applicable for those who are not under DTAA agreements.

India has different rates than above for the countries who are under DTAA agreements. These can be availed in Income tax india website or from any income tax ready reckoner books.

Answer / felix ade

Every employee or worker is obligated to pay tax, and the
government has empowered every employer to deduct certain
percentage of its employee's salary on its behalf. Therefore
Withholding tax is the amount of money deducted from an
employee's salary to be remitted to the government account.

TDS (Tax Deduction Statement): TDS is the statement or the
analysis of the money or tax deducted from employees over a
period of time. It is a document prepared by the employer
for the government.

Surcharge: This is the fee that is payable to the government
by an employer for keeping the money/tax deducted from its
employees over a period of time.
