TDS applicability on extended warranty charges

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applies to extended warranty charges for laptops, particularly when these charges are bundled into the main invoice. While some argue it's capitalised with the laptop cost, others contend it's a separate contract requiring TDS under Section 194C. The advice suggests reviewing the purchase order; if warranty costs aren't itemised, treat them separately and deduct TDS.

Is TDS applicable for the extended warranty charges for the Laptop which is included in the invoice and not as separate invoice/ contract?

06 July 2023 But in the audit office, they stress that warranty charges is a contract and we have to deduct TDS u/s 194c.

Kindly advise.

06 July 2023 It is general practice to capitalize the initial cost of laptop with extended warranty when the separate bill for warranty is not issued by supplier.
Check your purchase order, if it doesn't include the total cost, then treat the warranty charges separately and deduct TDS over it.
