A proprietor with a turnover between 80 Lakhs and 1 Crore is questioning the necessity of deducting TDS on monthly consultancy fees of £50,000. The consensus is that TDS deduction is not required in this scenario. TDS obligations typically only arise if the business's turnover exceeds the tax audit threshold, specifically under section 194J.

My turnover is only 80 Lakhs to 1 Crore, but we are paying 50,000 every month as consultancy charges.
In this regard, is it necessary to deduct TDS? Since we are a proprietorship and our turnover is below 1 Crore, is TDS deduction not required? Please confirm
