Regarding **TDS on Event Management Services**:
* Event management services are generally considered as **"contractual services"** and hence fall under **Section 194C (TDS on payments to contractors)**.
* So, the **TDS rate applicable is 1% (if payment is to an individual or HUF) or 2% (if payment is to others like companies or firms)** under Section 194C.
* It is **not treated as professional services** under Section 194J (which attracts 10% TDS).
---
### Why Section 194C?
* Section 194C covers payment to contractors for carrying out any work (including supply of labor for carrying out work).
* Event management involves organizing, arranging, and managing events which qualifies as a "work" contract.
---
### Circular/Authority
* CBDT has clarified in various instances (including in rulings and circulars) that event management contracts are covered under Section 194C.
* For example, CBDT Circular No. 715 dated 4-11-1994 mentions that any contract for work includes event management contracts.
---
### Summary:
| Service | Applicable TDS Section | TDS Rate |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Event Management Service | Section 194C | 1% (individual/HUF) or 2% (others) |
