All partnership firms are required to deduct TDs irrespective of turnover.

Yes, tds not depends on turnover

Firms have to deduct TDS irrespective of Turnover. Only Individuals and HUF not subbject to 44AB audit do not have to deduct TDS except for following cases where they too must deduct:-

Salaries

Individual / HUF Contractors paying / crediting to a sub contractor.

Yes except partner's interest you have to deduct TDS on payments irrespective of turnover.

Following persons are liable to deduct the tax at source:-

  • Interest paid
  • Payment to contractor and sub-contractors.

  • Rent Paid
  • Professional fees and technical fees paid.

B) Individual/HUF who are covered under tax audit, will deduct tax at source on all specified payments.

C) Partnership firms and Companies and persons other than individuals and HUF, will deduct tax at source on all specified payments.

Tax audit: A person is liable to get its account audited u/s 44AB of Indian Income Tax Act, if the gross receipts or gross turnover exceeds Rs.60 lacs during financial year and Rs. one crore during financial year 2012-13 in case of a business and in case of profession the gross receipts exceeding Rs.15 lacs in financial year 2011-12 and Rs.25 lacs in financial year 2012-13.

  1. Payment to contractor or sub-contractor, exclusively for personal purpose.
  2. Payment of professional fees and technical fees exclusively for personal purposes.
