Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct TDS rate for audit fees when an invoice is received after the financial year-end. The consensus is that TDS under Section 194J should be deducted at 7.5% if the provision for the expense was made during the financial year 2020-21, even if the invoice is received in April 2021.
1) Tax to be deducted at source, at the time of credit or date of payment, whichever is earlier.
2) Provision has been made during FY20-21 and hence tax to be deducted @ 7.5% in this case.
Note: Subsequent receipt of invoice is just a confirmation of the provisional entry.
