Indian client withholding tax?

[MGTRAINING]

Hi,

I have just been paid by my client in India for a virtual class I delivered recently from the UK. They have withheld 21.115%. How do I claim this back or at least offset this against my UK tax (I assume there is a double tax treaty with UK).

My accountant has no idea. I assume they are supposed to issue me with a certificate? I received nothing.

Thanks

One of the risks of trading with Indian clients I'm afraid (I've heard of similar stories from training companies). If you hadn't arranged a PAN (Permanent Account Number) before trading in India* i think you've lost it. Unless the accounting bods can give you better info the only thing I can think of is to offset your loss against your Corp tax.

*and you are trading in India even if it is virtual.

I came across same issue couple of years ago. My client issued a certificate which I used to reclaim the tax against by corporation tax payment.
