TDS on contractors.

Hello friends,

If an entity is deducting TDS on contractor u/s 194 C, in that case is there a necessity of a contract between the two entities. What is the basic thing to identify whether TDS is to be deducted in a contract transaction?

Similarly in TDS on rent is there a compulsion of a rental agreement between the two entities?

Please answer with appropriate sections.

Vishal.

The word  "contract" in the context of Section 194C can be said to be an agreement between two persons for carrying out any work or service.  The person who agrees to carry out the work or render service is the contractor.  The contract between the contractor and the contractee need not be in writing.

In light of the above explanation you can indentify whether an agreeemnt between two person is a contract.  When you have identify that there exists a contract in that agreement, you an apply the tests- such as quantum of payment or aggregate payemnts and the status of the contractor.  When the test is finished you will know at what rate you have to deduct tax or need not deduct tax.

Smilarly there need not be any written agreement between a land lord and tenent.
