TDS U/S 194Q

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether TDS under Section 194Q should be deducted on the total invoice value, including GST, or just the value before GST. While some argue GST should be included as part of the purchase value, others believe it should be treated similarly to other TDS sections and potentially excluded based on existing circulars regarding professional charges. The consensus leans towards excluding GST from the TDS calculation for goods, aligning with the principle of not taxing tax.

17 June 2021 Section 194Q is to be made with reference to the purchase value, & GST shall form part of the purchase value, therefore, the TDS is deductible on the purchase value inclusive of GST.

17 June 2021 I think this is debatable.
As TCS is collected on receipt of consideration, it is logical to include GST while computing TCS whereas in case of TDS, liability to deduct tax at source is on credit/payment whichever is earlier. So can we not treat 194Q too on the lines of other TDS sections?
Further, on the basis of CBIC circular in case of TDS on professional charges in which CBIC had clarified that no TDS was applicable on tax component, can we not take the benefit of the same in respect of goods too till we get a specific clarification from CBIC?
