The contract / nature of the payment will determine the rate of TDS recovery. This may be as per Income tax Act or as per DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement).First we check the applicability of DTAA. If the rate as per DTAA is more than the Income Tax Rate, then we deduct tax as per IT Rate. a. The withholding tax rate under the ADT agreement can be determined from the web site link https://law.incometaxindia.gov.in/DIT/intWitholdingTax.aspx#. Go to the web site https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/, select “International Taxation”,click on “Witholding Tax” followed by withholding tax rate.
