Hi,

We are shipping Company. we got a service from our lawyer, as a service we received Invoice of RS.25,000.

Apparently Reverse charge rule apply on this invoice...

Would like to know how to make entry in Tally. once i pay service tax can i consider that as INPUT

With regard to TDS Do i have to consider Service Tax Rs.3090 (25,000 * 12.36= 3090) while Deducting TDS,.

Exclude Service Tax 194J TDS Deduction Value Rs. 2,500/- (25,000 * 10/100)

Including Service Tax 194J TDS Deduction Value Rs.2,809/- (28,090 * 10/100)

 

Please let me know

Dear Sir, In case of legal charges, 100% of service tax liability falls under the service receiver. The entry will be as follows Legal fees a/c Dr To Lawyer a/c To TDS on professional charges Service tax receivable a/c Dr To service tax reverse charge a/c

TDS will be deducted on whole amount inclusive of ST as under RCM the Service Receiver is just meeting the liability of Provider & is availing credit for the same.

So, as earlier, TDS has to be deducted on total payable amount i.e. 28090/-

 

Regards

Dear Ankit! Isn't TDS deductible only on Rs.25000/- amount payable to the advocate. The st under reverse charge is our liability directly towards govt right? Please clarify

Please refer the judgment of the Hon’ble Rajasthan High Court, in the case of:

Commissioner of Income Tax (TDS), Jaipur Vs.  M/s. Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure [2013 (8) TMI 12 – RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT] on following issue:

Issue:

Whether   TDS is to be deducted on the amount of Service Tax charged on professional/ technical fees under Section 194J of the Income Tax Act, 1961?

Facts & Background:

M/s Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development Project (“the Respondent or the RUIDP or the assessee”) is a project of Government of Rajasthan for the Infrastructure Development and Civic Amenities in the specified areas/ cities   in the state of Rajasthan.  The  RUIDP  appoints the technical and project consultants and deducts income tax at source from the amount of  fee payable as  per   the agreement and deposit the same as  per   the  relevant provisions of  the Income Tax Act, 1961  (“the  Income  Tax  Act”) and subsequently  files  the return for  the same within  due time.

 

The Assessing Officer, vide its order dated 30.01.2009 raised a demand of Rs. 1,70,881/- along with  interest thereon amounting to Rs. 44,776/-, on account of TDS on the amount paid   as Service Tax pertaining to Financial Year 2005-06. The  assessee preferred an  appeal before the Commissioner  of  Income  Tax  (Appeals),   Jaipur  which  was  allowed. Being  aggrieved with  the same,  the Revenue  filed  an  appeal  before the Income  Tax  Appellate Tribunal, Jaipur  but the same was  dismissed. Hence the revenue preferred an appeal before the Hon’ble Rajasthan High Court.

 Held:

It was  held   by  the Hon’ble Rajasthan High  Court that if Service  tax  is  payable  in addition  to professional/  technical   fees under  the  contract,   the  withholding  tax  will be  restricted  to  the professional fees. Hence, examination of contract terms is imperative

 The Hon’ble Rajasthan High Court held that the words “any sum paid” used inSection 194J of the Income Tax Act, 1961, relate to “fees for professional services or fees for technical services”. In terms of the agreement, the amount of Service Tax was to be paid separately and was not included in the fees. Hence the orders passed by  Appellate Authority as  well as  the Appellate  Tribunal  are  in accordance with the provisions of Section 194J of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
