Tds on call center services u/s 194j @ 2%

TDS 1829 views 6 replies

Hi all,

We are receiving Call center services & deducting TDS @ 2% as per Section 194J. But the TDS return is processed with default & reason of default was lower deduction. When I asked this from the department they said we need to raise flag B as reason for lower deduction. Flag B require a certificate number which we do not have as it is not a lower deduction but deduction is at precribed rate. Please suggest what to do in it.

 

Thanks in advance,

Priyanka

Deduct TDS @ 10% , if u don't have lower deduction certificate.

As per the section - 

Section 194J: Any sum paid by way of

a)  Fee for professional services,

b)  Fee for technical services

c)  Royalty,

d)  Remuneration/fee/commission to a director or

e)  For not carrying out any activity in relation to any business

f)  For not sharing any know-how, patent, copyright etc.

Note: With effect from June 1, 2017 the rate of TDS would be 2% in case of payee engaged in business of operation of call center.

 

As per my understanding 2% TDS rate is specified & not lower deduction 

Just give your number ill transfer to my

Extract of relevant clause from Finance Bill, 2017

Amendment of section 194J.

65. In section 194J of the Income-tax Act, after the third proviso and before the Explanation, the following proviso shall be inserted with effect from the 1st day of June, 2017, namely:—

“Provided also that the provisions of this section shall have effect, as if for the words “ten per cent.”, the words “two per cent.” had been substituted in the case of a payee, engaged only in the business of operation of call centre.”.

If person engaged "'Önly" in the business of operation of call center

What if the vendor confirms that they are  "'Önly" in the business of operation of call center ? Then also the issue will continue.
