Quick Summary

No TDS is applicable when packing or printing material is simply purchased. However, if packing/printing is done on job work basis under a contract, TDS is applicable under Section 194C only on job work charges and not on material supply portion.

06 November 2009 Dear Nitin
if Packing Materials are ur Trading Goods then there is no TDS on buying & Payment of such materials.
However if these are not Trading Goods then TDS u/s 194C (i-e Payment to contractor) is applicable

07 November 2009 If you are purchasng the packing material outright (i.e. there is no job work involved) than no TDS is applicable. If you have given the manufacturing of packing material on jobwork (i.e. raw material is being supplied by you to the jobworker) than TDS u/s 194C is deductible

07 November 2009 TDS will be attract only when you are Giving Job Work With Raw Material to complete the Job. That means on Only Job Work Charges TDS will be Deduct. & If you are not giving Material to complete the Job or Material is also providing by supplier then in this condition No TDS Will be Deduct on Job Work Charges.
