Online it service for business - expense deductible?

Hi,

In my business, we are using an online service called "zendesk" (www.zendesk.com) that costs $120 each month. It is paid via credit card automatically and billed to our company. Zendesk is a US based company...

Is this deductible as expense in IT? 

I have read that as per Income tax rules, all foreign payment is to be made with TDS or its disallowed... but there is no way to make any deduction as its online service and fully paid by credit card each month...so please advice on the same. As the amount is working out to more than Rs 1 lac per year and full scope is used for business only. 

Thanks in advance, 

Arun

It is deductible as business...

Hello there. I guess you’d better ask a specialist about it. I’m really unclear about it, so I can’t tell you what this expense relates to. I mean, personally, I’d relate it to IT expenses. But it’s not a professional opinion. That’s why I’d highly recommend you find someone on Fiverr or Upwork. Actually, I have a friend working at an IT service to manage business problems. I think I could ask him about it. Anyway, my recommendation still stays the same. Wish you all the best, man. Keep us updated.
