Dear All

As you all know the rate of TDS u/s 194C has been changed ie. 1% on HUF/Indl & 2% on company. And same is the case of transporter if transporter does not provide the PAN NO.  Can any body tell me that what is the definition of "TRANSPORTER" for this purpose .

In other words, IS IT include C&F Charges , Loading & unloading , Payment of custom duty, stamp duty, N form, agency comission, Octroi, container & warehouse ch. etc ?????

 

PLEASE GIVE YOUR VALUABLE VIEWS IN DETAILS..........

yes you are absolutely right The Finance Budget 2009 presented on 06.07.2009 has made in the changes in Section 194C

now if the transporter provides his PAN no tds is to be deducted on payments made to him, in case if he does not provide his PAN then TDS is to be deducted at 1% for Ind/HUF and 2% for Firm/ Company.

Now as regards the definition of Tranporter it  means a person engaged in plying, hiring or leasing of trucks and does not include payment for other transportation means used.

Dear Sourabh

With due regards, while interpretating law we have to be very specific unless the law itself generalise its application. This exemption is only for transportation contract and not any multiple contract entered along with, so if you are availing any other service along with a general transportation contract then you are left with only two option

1. Either ask your vendor to raise separate bills for the transportation contract and other services

2. Or deduct TDS at 2% / 1%

same procedure is opted under service tax where a covered and un covered service is obtained or rendered

Hi Sorabh,

As section 194C Substituted by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2009, w.e.f. 1-10-2009 which provided vide subsection 6  that tax shall not be deducted in case of plying,hiring or leasing of goods carriage if person who is paid for such services furnishes PAN to person paying sums. Read the exact wordings below

(6) No deduction shall be made from any sum credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid during the previous year to the account of a contractor during the course of business of plying, hiring or leasing goods carriages, on furnishing of his Permanent Account Number, to the person paying or crediting such sum.

What is Goods carriage?

Clause (14) and clause (16) of section 2 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, define “goods carriage” means any motor vehicle constructed or adopted for use solely for the carriage of goods, or any motor vehicle not so constructed or adopted when used for the carriage of goods;’

Conclusion

Therefore, it becomes clear that only in case of Goods Carriage plying or leasing or hiring,  TDS may not be applied if the contractor of gooods carriage provides payer his/her PAN. Other transporters are still covered u/s 194C.

In other words, loading unloading or transportation of employees are not covered under subsection 6 which exempts certain payments from TDS levy.

However, I feel if the loading and unloading is made part of work of Goods Carraige, consolidated payments i.e payment for goods carriage as well as loading unloading shall also be covered u/s sub-section 6 of section 194C and TDS may not happen on those payments.
