Am I liable for TDS for payment made on behalf of employer?

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether an individual is liable for Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) when making payments on behalf of their employer, particularly for foreign vendor invoices. The consensus is that if the invoice is in the company's name, the company is responsible for deducting, remitting, and filing TDS, even if the payment was made via an intermediary's UPI account.

18 March 2025 I recently came across the concept of tds under sec 195. My employer had purchased website theme from envato and ssl certificate from godaddy. Both invoices have their(envato and go daddy) foreign address in the invoice.

I had made the payment from my UPI account but the invoice has my employer's name and also had the employer GST number. Is the TDS deductible by me or am I liable for any thing in the future?

19 March 2025 Yes, you have to deduct TDS as the invoice is in the name of the company.
Company has remit the TDS and file TDS return.

19 March 2025 Thank you sir. But the tds filing and tds payment has to be done by the company, right? and not me as I only did the upi transaction as an intermediary.
