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.

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.
