I have paid rent to Mr XYZ in Financial year 2009-10 for Building @ 5000 per month (i.e Rs 60000 p.a.) and machinery @ Rs 9600 Per month (i.e Rs 1,15,200) . Shall i be liable to deduct TDS on rent paid to XYZ ?
Kindly Suggest me on this ?
What is effect on TDS U/s 194I if Both arrangements are through two different agreements with XYZ ?
I Think Tds is applicable becouse exess limit cross F.Y 2009-2010 limit has 1.20 lacs both arrangement deffirent but xyz one person payment made so that tds is applicable u/s 194 I.
As per section 194I, payment made to any person exceeding Rs.120000/- ( in F.Y.2009-10 , Now 180000) for Rent of any Land or Building or plant & machinery.
TDS will be deducted @ 15% on the amount of rent paid for building from april to september and from october, 2009 to march, 2010 rate will be 10%.
and @ 2% on the amount of rent paid for Machinery from april to september and from october,2009 to march, 2010 rate will be 2%.
( Rates were changed from 1-10-2009)
(There is no difference in answer whether there are two separate contracts with the same person or one single contract.)
Limit of 120000/- is based on one person during the whole financial year and not on no. of contract with that person during the financial year.
