TDS on Bank charges to company

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether a firm needs to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on bank charges paid to another company. Generally, if the company issues a GST invoice for these charges, TDS provisions will apply, unless the charges are a reimbursement of actual bank costs. The nature of the invoice (tax invoice vs. reimbursement) and the recipient's status are key factors in determining TDS applicability and any relevant thresholds.

08 May 2025 if you are paying it to a company, that is not a bank, then yes, normal TDS provisions will apply if they are raising a GST invoice. If it is a reimbursement invoice, then no TDS.

09 May 2025 it has nothing to do with the narration. the nature of recipient matters as well as whether the invoice is a reimbursement invoice of a commercial invoice..
