18 September 2008 Hi Expers...

Suppose X has incurred expenditure on behalf of Y and made a payment to Z in respect of expenditure indcurred.

Then expenditure is reimbursed by Y to X.

Now problem is that who will deduct tax at source.

a) Whether X is liable to make TDS from payment to be made to Z

or

b)whether Y will make TDS from payment to be made to X....

Who has to comply with TDS provisions...

Thanks

18 September 2008 The person booking the expense or crediting the party will be liable to deduct tax.

In this case, Y will deduct the tax .

18 September 2008 X is liabile to deduct TDS. Because of X is paying the amount of such expenditure. Z has raised bills on Y but amount paid by the X. X is responsible to deduct TDS and Y is accountable.

18 September 2008 Hi Friend ,
You are mistaking in understanding the issue. The issue can be clarified by the following entries

In the books of Y

(At the time of booking expenses)
Expense Dr.
To Z

(At the time of payment to Z by X)
Z Dr.
To X

(At the time of reimbursement)
X Dr.
To BAnk

In this case just there is replacement of parties between X and Z . Thus, TDS should be deducted by Mr. Y from Mr. z .

19 September 2008 Hi experts...

you might not be getting my point, so i am clarifying the entries as follows;

In the Books of X...
1.Expense A/c. Dr.
To Z a/c.
(booking of Exp.)
2.Z a/c. dr.
to Bank a/c.
(Payment to Z)
3.Y A/c. Dr.
To Expense A/c.
(Debit Note raised on Y)
4.Bank A/c. Dr.
To Y A/c.
(Reimbursement by Y)

In books of Y..
1.Expense a/c. Dr.
To X a/c.
(As per above Debit NOte.)
2.X A/c. Dr.
To Bank A/c.
(Payment towards Exp.)

Now in above case Y is not directly related to Z, while the income is generated by Z only hence the TDS on Z's income shall be made.

However the expenses is claimed by Y in his books and hence the person who is claiming the exp. shall make the TDS otherwise exp. will get disallowed, so he needs to deduct tax from X which is wrong..

SO no think and reply.

Thanks
Rohit

19 September 2008 For Y- Y will make the payment to X after TDS and will issue TDS certificate.

For X- X will get the money from Y and TDS certificate.
Also, X will make the payment to Z after TDS and will issue TDS certificate.
No effect in X books ultimately.

For Z- Z will get the money from X after tax along with the TDS certificate.

20 September 2008 TDS is deductable on the amount of receipts, which includes income,earned by a person.It should be deducted by the person making the payment.In the above case X is making the payment to Z.Y is only reimbursing X for making the said payment.Had the payment been made by Y to Z directly then the TDS would had been deductable by Y on the payment made to Z.Therefore,X is liable to deduct TDS.
