A pvt. ltd co. pays lease rent on which TDS is deducted. But due to some problems, it is not able to deposit the TDS before filing of return. I want to know if the amount of lease rent will be disallowed?? Is the amount be added back to profit before calculation income tax??
what was the position earlier as per section 40(a)(ia) all the expenses u/s 30-38 will be disallowed if
1. tds has not been deducted 2. tds has been deducted but has not been paid during previous year or in subsequent year in time as prescribed in section 200.
on
* Interest, * commission, * brokerage, * rent, * royalty, * fees for technical/professional services payable to a resident , * amounts payable (for carrying out any work contract)
to a resident contractor/sub-contractor
provided that
1. if tax has been deducted and paid in subsequent year or 2. deducted in previous year but paid in subsequent year after expiry of the time limit u/s 200
then expenditure will be allowed in the year of payment of tds.
what is position now after changes in budget
Tax is deductible but not deducted
* No deduction in the current previous year
* If tax is deducted in any subsequent year, the expenditure will be deducted in the year in which TDS will be deposited by the assessee with the Government.
Tax is deductible (and is so deducted) during the last month (i.e., in the month of March) of the previous year but it is not deposited on or before the due date of submission of return of income under section 139(1)
* No deduction in the current previous year
* If tax is deposited with the Government after the due date of submission of return of income, the expenditure will be deductible in that year in which tax will be deposited.
Tax is deductible (and is so deducted) during any month but other than the last month (i.e., any time before March 1) of the previous year but it is not deposited on or before March 31 of the previous year
* No deduction in the current previous year
* If tax is deposited with the Government after the end of the current previous year, the expenditure will be deductible in that year in which tax is deposited.
though some relief has been given that in case we pay tds on or before due date of filing of the income tax return expenditure will be allowed in the same previous year but in case of non deduction of the tds when it is deductible then expenditure will be disallowed fully.
suppose xyz ltd has paid for work of 100000 to abc ltd for some non recurring work and forget to deduct tds ,the expenses of 100000 will be disallowed to xyz ltd.if there will no further transaction between xyzltd and abc ltd ,in that case xyz ltd can not deduct tax from abc ltd hence can not claim expenditure in subsequent year also.
