Income tax query

Tds under section 194J is applicable on prior period expense? For example proffessional fee for financial year 2018-19 is not accounted in books Fy 2018-19,but accounted in the books FY 2019-20 then dissallowance is applicable on such prior period expense? If dissallowed we can claim dissallowed amount in the year of payment?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of TDS under Section 194J on prior period expenses. If a professional fee from FY 2018-19 is accounted for in FY 2019-20, TDS is deductible in the current financial year of booking. Failure to deduct TDS results in a 30% disallowance of the expenditure in the year it was booked, though this disallowed portion can be claimed as an expense in the year the TDS is eventually deducted.

Yes disallowance will be imposed on non deduction of tds and 30% of such amount will be disallowed
What is mean by clubbing
Clubbing means clubbed of income into another person's income
Expenses accounted or payment made which ever is earlier TDS is deductible. Hence prior period expenses booked in current month, TDS is deductible in current month.


if you do not deduct TDS on any expenditure , 30% of the full amount of expenditure will not be allowed as expense in the year.

the 30% expenditure will be allowed as expense in the year of deduction.
