Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the application of TDS sections 194Q and 194O for raw material purchases via e-auction. If an e-commerce operator has already deducted TDS under section 194O, the buyer is generally not required to deduct TDS again under section 194Q, even if the purchase value exceeds ₹50 lakh. Circular No. 13 of 2021 provides specific guidelines, stating that transactions covered by 194O take precedence over 194Q to avoid double taxation.

No Liability....

If tax has been deducted by the e-commerce operator on a transaction under section 194-0 of the Act [including transactions on which tax is not deducted on account of sub-section (2) of section 194-0], that transaction shall not be subjected to tax deduction under section 194Q of the Act.

No Liability....

If tax has been deducted by the e-commerce operator on a transaction under section 194-0 of the Act [including transactions on which tax is not deducted on account of sub-section (2) of section 194-0], that transaction shall not be subjected to tax deduction under section 194Q of the Act.

Kindly share the notification if any clarification given in the document it would be great full.

Dated: 30th June, 2021
Sub.: Guidelines under section 1940 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 - reg.

Extracted.....

4.9.5 After conjoint reading of all these provisions the following is clarified:
(i) If tax has been deducted by the e-commerce operator on a transaction under section 194-0 of the Act [including transactions on which tax is not deducted on account of sub-section (2) of section 194-0], that transaction shall not be subjected to tax deduction under section 194Q of the Act.
(ii) Though sub-section (IH) of section 206C of the Act provides exemption from TCS if the buyer has deducted tax at source on goods purchased by him, to remove difficulties it is clarified that this exemption would also cover a situation where instead of the buyer the e-commerce operator has deducted tax at source on that transaction of
sale of goods by seller to buyer through e-commerce operator.
(iii) If a transaction is both within the purview of section 194-0 of the Act as well as section 194Q of the Act, tax is required to be deducted under section 194-0 of the Act and not under section 194Q of the Act.

(iv) Similarly, if a transaction is both within the purview of section 194-0 of the Act as well as sub-section (I H) of section 206C of the Act, tax is required to be deducted under section 194-0 of the Act. The transaction shall come out of the purview of subsection (I H) of section 206C of the Act after tax has been deducted by the e-commerce operator on that transaction. Once the e-commerce operator has deducted the tax on a transaction, the seller is not required to collect the tax under sub-section (I H) of section 206C of the Act on the same transaction. It is clarified that here primary responsibility is on e-commerce operator to deduct the tax under section 194-0 of the Act and that responsibility cannot be condoned if the seller has collected the tax under sub-section (I H) of section 206C of the Act. This is for the reason that the rate of TDS under section 194-0 is higher than rate of TCS under sub-section (I H) of section 206C of the Act.

(v) If a transaction is both within the purview of section 194-Q of the Act as well as sub-section (I H) of section 206C of the Act, the tax is required to be deducted under section 194-Q of the Act. The transaction shall come out of the purview of sub-section (1 H) of section 206C of the Act after tax has been deducted by the buyer on that transaction. Once the buyer has deducted the tax on a transaction, the seller is not required to collect the tax under sub-section (I H) of section 206C of the Act on the same transaction. However, if, for any reason, tax has been collected by the seller under sub-section (I H) of section 206C of the Act, before the buyer could deduct tax under section 194-Q of the Act on the same transaction, such transaction would not be subjected to tax deduction again by the buyer. This concession is provided to remove difficulty, since tax rate of deduction and collection are same in section 194Q and subsection (IH) of section 206C of the Act.
