TDS liability on Film Producers

Sir/Madam

One of our client is producing a film for the first time, since his turnover during film production period doesn't cross tax audit limit, is it necessary to do TDS on Payments or he can take first year of audit exemption

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a first-time film producer, whose turnover doesn't meet the tax audit threshold, is exempt from TDS obligations. While some suggest a one-year exemption applies to individuals and HUFs if audit wasn't applicable in the preceding financial year, others argue that TDS provisions are separate from tax audit limits. The consensus leans towards needing to comply with TDS regardless of audit applicability, especially for non-individual/HUF entities.

You will get one year exemption.

If for FY-2021-22 Audit is not applicable then in 2022-23 FY , then Tds provisions are not applicable if it is for Individual or HUF.

Turnover/ audit applicability during preceding FY has to be considered for Tds provisions applicability purposes

So tds may not be applicable in those case if tax audit is not applicable for preceding FY.

 

This exemption is for Individuals and HUFs only 

Deducting tds does not go hand in hand with irrespective of the tax audit limit.Tax audit limit is seperate .
God we get replies like this .
