Question: A foreign supplier (non-resident) i.e.principal has a local agent in pakistan (resident). The principal supplied machinery to an Organization directly from abroad. He says that payment may be made to his local agent in pakistan in pak rupees, who will remit the same to his principal afterwards.

Please intimate whether income tax at source will be deducted from his claim by the paying agency (withholding agency) or not. What will be the rate of withholding tax if tax is to be deducted.

Thanks a lot
