Ah, got it! Your question is about **TDS under the Karnataka VAT Act** on interior decoration — not Income Tax.
To clarify:
* Under **Karnataka VAT Act**, TDS provisions apply on certain payments like **contractor services**.
* **Interior decoration services** can be treated as **works contract** or **service**, depending on nature.
* If considered as **works contract**, TDS under KVAT Act @ some % (usually 1% or 2%, depending on turnover) **may apply**.
* But if it’s purely **professional service** (like architect’s fees), then **KVAT TDS might not be applicable**, only IT TDS under 194J applies.
Since VAT and TDS under VAT Act are state-specific and can vary, best practice is to check:
* Whether the interior decoration falls under **works contract** as per Karnataka VAT rules.
* The **KVAT TDS rate** notified for such contracts.
