Quick Summary
This article explains the new TDS provisions under Section 194Q, effective from 1st July 2021, concerning the purchase of goods. It clarifies that buyers with a turnover exceeding Rs. 10 crores in the preceding financial year are liable to deduct TDS at 0.1% on purchases exceeding Rs. 50 lakhs in the current financial year. The article provides practical examples to illustrate these rules and discusses potential consequences like disallowance of expenses and higher TDS rates for non-compliant sellers.

In this Taxalogue, the new provisions of TDS on purchase of goods, contained in section 194Q, applicable w.e.f. 1.7.2021, is being explained with the help of some easy to understand practical illustrations.

Practical Examples on Section 194Q

1. Mr. Goodly purchases goods worth Rs. 15 lakhs on 30.6.2021. He purchases goods worth Rs. 50 lakhs on 1.7.2021. His turnover in previous financial year 2020-21 was 11 crores.

Is Mr. Goodly required to deduct TDS u/s 194Q & if yes, on what amount & at what rate?

Ans. Since turnover of Mr. Goodly in previous FY 2020-21 was in excess of Rs 10 cr & the value of goods purchased by him in current FY 2021-22, exceeds Rs. 50 lakhs (15 lakhs plus 50 lakhs= 65 lakhs), so, Mr. Goodly is liable to deduct TDS @0.1% u/s 194Q of Rs. 1500 on purchases of Rs 15 lakhs. (65 lakhs - exemption limit of Rs 50 lakhs). Purchases of Rs 15 lakh on 30.6.2021 will be taken into account in determining the threshold limit of Rs 50 lakhs for FY 2021-22 but TDS is to be deducted only on purchases made on or after 1.7.2021.

2. If in above example, Mr Goodly purchases goods worth Rs. 20 lakhs on 30.6.2021 & 60 lakhs on 1.7.2021, then Mr Goodly is liable to deduct TDS @0.1% of Rs. 3000, on purchases of Rs. 30 lakhs.

3. Suppose, Mr Goodly purchases goods worth Rs. 60 lakhs on 30.6.2021 & 50 lakhs on 1.7.2021, then Mr Goodly is liable to deduct TDS @0.1% of Rs. 5000, on purchases of Rs. 50 lakhs.

4. If, in above example, Mr Goodly purchases goods worth Rs. 60 lakhs on 30.6.2021 & 40 lakhs on 1.7.2021, then Mr Goodly is liable to deduct TDS @0.1% of Rs. 4000, on purchases of Rs. 40 lakhs.

TDS on Goods Purchase (Sec 194Q): Rules and Examples

5. If Mr. Goodly has purchased goods from Mr. Selldom worth Rs. 55 lakhs on 31.3.2021 and Rs. 50 lakhs on 1.7.2021, and Mr. Selldom has received payment of Rs. 60 lakhs on 15.7.2021, with respect to the two purchases made by Mr. Goodly, whether TDS has to be deducted or TCS has to be collected? (assuming other conditions of section 194Q and section 206C(1H) are satisfied)

Ans. Since the buyer Mr. Goodly has not crossed the threshold limit of Rs. 50 lakhs in FY 2021-22 and the seller Mr. Selldom has received the amount exceeding the threshold limit of Rs. 50 lakhs, on 15.7.2021, in FY 2021-22, the seller Mr. Selldom has to collect the tax (TCS) of Rs. 1000 @ 0.1% on Rs. 10 lakhs, if all the conditions of section 206C(1H) are satisfied.
