Applicability of Withholding Tax on warehousing & logistics services taken from from foreign Company( U.K.), FEMA

[Pradeep Jain]

Dear Sir,

We are availing warehousing & logistics services from foreign Company based in U.K. and resident of U.K. as per TRC issued by HM Revenue & Customs – Business Tax Operations Unit , Glasgow but PAN number in India is not obtained by the said service provider. Further, we wish to submit that the said foreign Company does not have any permanent establishment and place of business and dependent agent in India.

We seek your opinion about the applicability of TDS on the payment made to said foreign Company in foreign currency.

Regards

Pradeep Jain
