The fees payable to you is inclusive of all taxes including applicable service tax or goods and services tax or other tax or levy that you may be required to remit in connection with such services for which you will raise a valid invoice under applicable law(s) and regulations and report it in the returns within the prescribed time limit so that We can take input tax credit of the taxes paid.

- timely issuance of GST compliant invoices;
- making the invoices available to CoinSwitch;
- depositing applicable taxes on a periodic basis; and

If required by applicable Indian tax law, we may deduct or withhold taxes, levies or any similar amounts from the fees payable to you.

We will deduct or withhold taxes as per the provisions of Income Tax Act from any amounts payable to you under the CoinSwitch Partner Program as mentioned above. In order to process your payment and for the purposes of tax remittance we will time to time request tax information from you. In the event of you not providing the required tax information, we reserve the right (in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us) to keep your fees in abeyance until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person from whom we are required to obtain tax information.

If we deduct or withhold taxes from fees payable to you, we will issue to you the relevant withholding tax certificate, if required under the applicable law, evidencing deposit of the taxes with the relevant regulatory authorities (for non-resident this is subject to relevant documents made available). If you provide us with a nil or reduced withholding tax certificate, we will apply such nil or reduced tax rate as the applicable withholding tax rate on fees payable to you.
