Income Tax and TDS implications for Non-US corporate Entities

Hello There,
We are an Indian Corporate Entity and we do not have any present in USA.
We are utilizing UpWork.com to employ freelancers for our solution design.
As per Indian tax laws, we are expected to hold TDS (Tax Deduction at Source) and pay and report them to Indian government.
The extent of tax we are expected to hold and pay depends on whether the service provider has corporate presence in India. My question is does UpWork.com has corporate presence in India and if not how do we report TDS we hold on behalf of services we buy from UpWork.com?

Hi Ravikumar,

 

Upwork is not registered in India, for every transaction an invoice will be created that you will be able to download. For any additional details I would suggest to consult yourself with a local specialist, thank you.

Hello Ravikumar B, 

Did you get any response to your problem. Can you share it here. I have the same issue that has come up from my CA. They have told me to Withhold TDS and am not sure of the next step. 

 

Thanks

Not sure of Ravi's resolution, in our case, CA ultimately adviced us to not avail of services via foreign online portals and we were forced to look for local Indian vendors for our dev work. There was too much risk of penalties which would have negated all the price benefits we could have availed.
