Tds - contractors

TDS 548 views 6 replies

Hi,

I have few doubts, 

1.I read somewhere online that if business turnover is over R.1 Crore per F.Y then only TDS is to be deducted for Contractors. Is it TRUE ?

2.I had paid Advance amount to my Contractor for a certain work in December 2014 and balance payment have to make this month. I had not deducted TDS on the Advance amount i paid. So i can deduct the total amount from the bill or have to deduct separate TDS amount for the advance amount paid ?

Please Clarify.

Please Clarify.

1. Yes, in case of an Individual/HUF/AOP/BOI, if tax audit was not applicable in the previous F.Y., then they are not liable to deduct TDS in the current F.Y.

- sub-clause (l) of clause (i) of Explanation to sub-section 7 of section 194C.
.
2. Where advance payments are made, tax will have to be deducted if the total payment is likely to exceed Rs. 30,000 because sub-section (1) of section 194C refers to 'any sum' paid/credited, whichever is earlier.

.
Hence, if the threshold limit is exceeding, deduct TDS separately on the advance amount paid and deposit with interest.

1.Last financial year Tax audit was not done for my company and this year also sales are below 1 Crore. So i should deduct TDS of contractors or not ?

2.Advance rs.50,000 was paid last month to contractor to start the work and the total value of the contract was not known and hence TDS was not deducted. just now the bill is raised for Rs.2,00,000. Do i have to pay the interest on 50,000 to Government or i can get back the 50,000 from the contractor and give him a single payment for the invoice.

Sorry to ask you again but my accountant ran away last week... :( 

You have not mentioned the nature of the deductor.As regards your second query you can simply show payment against single invoice and deduct TDS on the whole amoint thereon and deposit the same without any need for late payment interest.

hello

we have fabric and garments business. we get job work done on fabrics and supply to exporters. so accordinlgy we have been deducting tds from our job workers till now. last year our turnover was below 1 Crore and same this year. So i needed to know if to deduct TDS thi year for our Job Contractors. Please Clarify !

Thank You.

It appears that you are a sole proprietor and as tax audit was not applicable on you last year there is no Tds deducting liability on you. However if you are a partnership concern you need to revisit the above mentioned sections.

If yours is sole proprietorship business, no need to deduct TDS in FY 14-15.

If yours is partnership busienss, you can deduct full TDS from the balance amount payable now. You will have to pay int for late deduction and late payment.
