TDS on Electricity, Food, Streaming Services & others


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) requirements for proprietorship businesses. TDS is generally applicable to office maintenance, employee food from restaurants, and video streaming services under Section 194C, provided certain payment thresholds are met. No TDS is typically required for electricity bills or car insurance renewals. Employees earning below £500,000 annually may not require TDS on their salaries if they provide a declaration opting out of tax, but TDS should be deducted if no such letter is received.
