company wants to pay technical fees to director of company who is korean resident. He provide technical guidance/support for the entire operation of the plant from korea only and visit the plant in india only once in a year. Is any tax is required to be paid in india as per Income tax act and considering the provisions of DTAA with korea.

Technical fees as provided under section 9(i)(vii)shall be leviable in the instant case.Also kindly provide more facts like whether such director is resident in India or not . Also the provisions of India- Korea DTAA needs to be studied.
If your company has received services in India from abroad
and you have made the payments , I think you have to pay the service tax

After an amendment to section 9 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the amount paid for fees for technical services (FTS) shall be treated as deemed to accrued or arises in India and therefore liable to tax in India. However, since the provisions of DTAA have the overriding effect, you need to consider the same also. In my view the rate of with holding tax is 15% as per DTAA with Korea in this case.
