TDS deduct problem

If I am an individual and the dealer is a company, should TDS be deducted at 1% or 2%?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the TDS deduction rate when an individual is the recipient and a company is the dealer. The consensus is that if the transaction falls under Section 194C of the Income Tax Act, the deduction rate is 2%. If it falls under Section 194Q, a different percentage applies, and more details about the specific services are needed to confirm.

2% need to deduct
If it is covered under section 194C of income act then then 2% .

If it is covered under 194Q then different % is applicable

It depends on the payee:

• Under Sec 194C, the rate depends on the payee: 1% if the payee is an individual or HUF, 2% if the payee is any other person (company, firm, LLP). If you (an individual) are paying a company (dealer), deduct 2%. Your own status doesn't decide the rate.

• If you're an individual, you're required to deduct under 194C only if your business turnover exceeded Rs 1 crore in the preceding year (or under 194M for personal payments above Rs 50 lakh).

• For purchase of goods from a dealer, 194C doesn't apply (it's for contracts of work). 194Q applies only if your turnover exceeds Rs 10 crore.
