Restaurant owners using platforms like Swiggy and Zomato are seeking clarification on whether they need to deduct TDS on commissions paid to these e-commerce operators. This is particularly relevant as Swiggy and Zomato already deduct TDS under Section 194O on the sale amount. The discussion aims to determine if further TDS deduction under Section 194H is required and how to explain this to the tax department with supporting evidence.
I am running a Restaurant and using E commerce operator platform i.e. Swiggy and Zomato shall i require to pay TDS on Commission. because they take Full amount of Commission and then reimburse final amount.
Further they also deduct TDS at 1% (0.1%) u/s 194O on sale amount.
Please suggest need to deduct TDS u/s 194H or not??
