This query relates to hiring of a professional as a consultant by a firm or a company.
Suppose the amount paid as retainership payment is Rs 20000 p.m.
What would be the tds provisions attracted and the journal entry for the same in the books of the Employer or the person receiving the consultancy services.
Is there an service tax liability on the part of the payer or receiver.
Regards
Punit
