Hi friends

 

 

My Doubt is, Shoud TDS under section 194J be dedcuted, if company gives gift to a professional(his regular fee is above TDS limit and TDS is deducted), not towards any professional service but as sales promotion expense?(his activity has nothing to do with company's product or sales directly)

 

Yes, without thinking we can say TDS to be deducted.

 

But my doubt is, as there is no bill raised for any service and this gift is not set off against any bill payable. still is TDS attracted???
