Our company has executed a joint venture agreement with a proprietorship firm for running our business activity. Under this arrangement: the firm , who is the owner of the premises, only provides the premises & some fixtures. All other activities are undertaken, executed, supervised etc. by us. The firm receives a monthly payout of Rs.50,000/- per month towards the JV compensation .
Kindly advise the following at the earliest. 1) How to account for this payment (under which head in P&L ) 2) Whether this payment will attract TDS ? 3) If yes, what will be the applicable rate ?
