As per the new rules of TDS on Transport contractor i.e who engaged in the business of carrying/plying of goods are to be taxed at Nil rate, if they provide PAN no.
In case of courier charges including parcel service, is their charges to be included in transporters category and can be taxed at Nil rate of TDS?
Pl clarify..
Courier service is a separete service and it should not be confused with transportation of goods. The NIL rate of TDS is applicable to only those contractors who are engaged in plying/hiring goods carriage for transport of goods and hence courier service should be subjected to TDS as applicable for individuals and HUFs and others.

Yes, it can not be treated as tranporter of goods is different from carrying the documents.
So We can take that the new rule is applicable only to GTA (Goods Transport Agencies as defined in service tax rule). Thanks to all..
Courier is not a transportation...
Courier Service is seprate from transportaion, for this we may refer service tax rule.
