It should come under 2% TDS
The main difference between technical service and professional service is the nature of the service provided. While professional services are based on the knowledge and expertise of the professional, technical services are based on technical expertise and skill. For example, a lawyer provides professional services, while an engineer provides technical services.
However, it is important to note that there can be instances where a service can be both technical and professional in nature. For example, an architect may provide technical services related to designing and engineering structures, but their services may also involve professional expertise in areas such as project management and cost estimation.
Under Section 194J, the TDS rate for fees paid for technical services is 2% of the payment, while the TDS rate for fees paid for professional services is 10% of the payment. This difference in TDS rates reflects the difference in the nature of the services provided.
However, determining whether a service is technical or professional can be challenging, as there are no clear guidelines or definitions provided by the Income Tax Act, 1961. In such cases, it is advisable to seek the opinion of a tax expert or consultant to avoid any potential tax liabilities.
