This discussion clarifies how Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) should be calculated when a credit note is issued against an original invoice. The consensus is that TDS should be deducted on the net amount after the credit note's value has been subtracted from the original invoice amount. For example, if an invoice was for £50,000 plus GST and a credit note for £5,000 plus GST was issued, TDS would be calculated on the remaining £45,000. The relevant section of the CGST Act 2017 regarding credit notes is also referenced.
