13 April 2008 Should TDS be deducted for payment of advance ? Assume all other conditions for deduction of TDS are met.

Please let me know the relevant Section of IT Act which addresses the issue.

Thanks.

14 April 2008 YES CHAPTER XVII OF INCOME TAX ACT UNDER COLLECTION AND RECOVERY OF TAX IN
SEC 190(1) STATES THAT "NOT WITHSTANDING THAT THE REGULAR ASSESSMENT IN RESPECT OF ANY INCOME IS TO BE MADE IN A LATER ASST. YEAR ,THE TAX ON SUCH INCOME SHALL BE PAYABLE BY DEDUCTION AT SOURCE OR BY ADVANCE PAYMENT AS THE CASE MAY BE...'
THIS IS FURTHER EMPHASISED BY PROVISIONS UNDER TDS THAT ANY PAYMENT MADE OR CREDITED TO EVEN SUSPENSE ACCOUNT OF THE PARTY ON A PAYMENT LIABLE FOR TDS IS TO BE SUUBJECTED TO TDS.
HENCE EVEN IF WE PAY AN ADVANCE TO A PARTY IN RESPECT OF PAYMENTS THAT ARE LIABLE TO TDS,WE NEED TO MAKE TDS.
