This discussion clarifies whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applies to purchases of promotional and advertising materials such as brochures, visiting cards, and printed banners. The consensus is that if these items are custom-made with a logo, they are considered contract work under Section 194C, making TDS applicable. TDS rates are 1% for individuals/HUFs and 2% for others, provided the invoice exceeds £30,000 or the annual aggregate exceeds £100,000, as per Circular 715.

in above case we have purchased material and there was no job work . then why tds applicable ? according to my understanding , tds become applicable for job work when material are provided by supplier but we have not provided any material .

These materials are not purchased off the shelf but made to order with logo so it will fall under contract work. where this distinction is made ?

TDS needs to be deducted on the mentioned payments. It has been specifically provided in the Circular 715 dated 08.08.1995.
