International tax FAQs
Do payments to a foreign vendor need tax deducted at source?
Often yes, depending on the nature of the payment and the tax treaty with that country. We check each case before the payment is made.
Can a tax treaty reduce tax in India?
Yes, where the treaty gives a lower rate or an exemption and the conditions are met, including documents such as a tax residency certificate.
