30 January 2012 Is TDS applicable for advertising or sponsorship in govt.journal/hand books


31 January 2012 Section 196:
No deduction of tax shall be made from any sum payable to the Govt. .

31 January 2012 I think TDS should be deducted, Because Section 194C says the TDS should be deducted for any contract between contractor and the person Specified, and explanation (i)(a)includes central and State government in definition of Specified Person.

31 January 2012 Section 194C: Explanation

Specified person referred to in Section 194C includes both State & Central Governments as rightly pointed out by CA Jayesh Shah.
.
However, the duty assigned to the specified person (SP) in the said section is towards making tax deduction.

SP is a contractee or can be said as payer of the contract amount to the Contractor.

Whereas, from the query, prima facie, it seems that the Govt. is being engaged as an advertising agency or as a contractor.
.
The advertiser will be treated as specified person for the purpose of discharging his obligation as the Deductor.
.
Section 196:
It's applicability can not be limited to merely Interest or Dividend payable to the Govt. as the section ends with the phrase " or any other income accruing or arising to it (Govt.).
