Here’s how TDS works in your scenario regarding fixed asset construction:
---
### Situation Recap:
* Your company is constructing a new building. * You are providing all the **materials**. * You are paying **Mr. V (contractor)** only for **labour/contract work** included in the agreement amount (no separate billing for labor). * You want to know if **TDS is deductible** on the agreement amount under **Section 194C**. * Also, you mentioned **not claiming depreciation**.
---
### Key Points on TDS:
1. **TDS Applicability under Section 194C:**
* Section 194C applies to payments to contractors for carrying out any work (including supply of labor). * Since Mr. V is providing **contractual labour/service** (even if material is provided by you), the payment made to him is for **work contract services**. * You **must deduct TDS under Section 194C** on the entire agreement amount paid to Mr. V, irrespective of whether materials are supplied by you or not.
2. **Threshold:**
* TDS is deductible if payment exceeds ₹30,000 per contract or ₹1,00,000 in aggregate in a financial year. * TDS rates:
* 1% for individual/HUF contractors * 2% for others (including companies)
3. **Impact on Depreciation:**
* Whether or not you claim depreciation on the building does **not affect your TDS liability**. * TDS is a withholding tax obligation on payment to contractors and is independent of asset depreciation or tax treatment.

### Summary:
| Aspect | Guidance | | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | Payment to contractor | Yes, TDS under Section 194C applies | | Material supplied by company | No impact on TDS applicability | | Claiming depreciation | Independent of TDS deduction |
