Hi Mr. Pradeep,

 

Can you confirm that whether you have opened a Branch office or a subsidiary in India. I am asking this because you can manufacture in India only as a Branch or subsidiary of a foreign co.

 

If the answer to my query is yes then the salary to Indian should be paid from the Branch or Indian Subsidiary and then the TDS shall be needed to be deducted by the Branch or Indian Subsidiary, as the case , amy be.

 

Even if the Indian person is paid salary directly from Korea then TDS on his salary has to be deducted and deposited by Korean Company.

Dear Anuj Ji,

 

As initial stage, there is no Branch office or a subsidiary in India. This is in process and will be in near future.

But till then, this Indian Employee's salary will be Remitted through Korea.

Second Option: That Korean company, already has an another business in India. Is it Possible that  this Indian Subsidiary Company make the Salary on Behalf of the Korean Company and get it Reimbursed from Korea.

Please Advise.

Best Regards.

Yes, salary can be paid but adequate care need to be taken for the Transfer pricing issue arising rom the same.
