These are allowable as business expenses.
a) i think the company need not deduct TDS on such expenses because it is like turnover Discount and no TDS prescribed on discounts. But i am not sure this my opinion only so wait for some other experts decision or suggestion.
b) No doubt these are taxable in the hands of dealer as discount received or Under the head income from other sources choice is their but the first option is appropriate to this case.
