Company B is actually selling something even if it is not in pysical form and TDS is

applicable only if Sec 192-196 if any is applicable.In this case in ma view No tds is

required to be deducted by Comapany A.

If Company A deducting TDS ... They should deduct TDS under which section . becouse Company "A" & Company "B" sign Contract between them self for providing E-Books as and when required . 

If Company A deducting TDS ... They should deduct TDS under which section . becouse Company "A" & Company "B" sign Contract between them self for providing E-Books as and when required . 

 

Are these E-books in any way altered by Company "B" to fit the specification of Company "A" ?

No they providing as they have .... they have design there own content

Is B company providing any service to A ? If A company get any professional service  from B ,then A company can deduct TDS . But A company purchasing books from B and paying @ of no of books. So it does not amount to sevice. so no tds is required.

According to mine view since company A has enterred into a contract with company B for purchasing books immaterial whether they are to be purchased manualy or electronically.So Company A should deduct TDS at the time of making payment.

look into the purchase agreement is it 1) outright purchase or 2) right to download and use ? i hope you will get the route with this difference on the issue ..........

I am not sure, but this comes under works contract, and so TDS can be deducted u/s 194C.

Let others share.

it is sale of books in digital format so how can tds be deducted on sale-purchase contract

Dear Mr.Manesh,

Company A has entered in to a "CONTRACT" with Company B to supply books as and when required.Tha Co B is charging Service Tax while raising the Invoice .

Now a days department is very keen on scrutinizing those expenditure and disallowing it.

Let deduct TDS @ 2% (194C) and issue Form 16A for every quarter.

I do aggree with Mr.aneesh reply.

Dear All,

 

Please let me know, in case if Such Company not charged ST on it.

In my Opinon Purchase of E Books, like of Puchase of Softwares no TDS is to be deducted, and we have to Capitalise the same under Intangiable assets and amortised over the estimated useful life of the books.
