08 June 2014 Hello everyone,

one of my client avails services of buses and taxis for transportation of shooting material from once place to another.

My question :
Tax should be deducted at source u/s. 194 ie. contractor or u/s. 194I i.e. hire charges.

There is no contract/agreement between them.

waiting for the views of the experts.

08 June 2014 should normally be under 194C only unless and until the whole of the bus is taken on rent for the whole of the period exclusively.
