If an amount of 50000 were charged by the supplier in an invoice through which goods are supplied, by supplier. Then will it become our liability to deduct TDS on freight charges in total invoice amount?
No TDS is needed to be deducted in case of sale of goods. If the delivery of goods is necessary\inevitable to complete the sale, then such delivery becomes part of sale of goods and hence no TDS is deductible. Also if the contract of sale contains clause of delivery of goods for which freight is charged,such transportation becomes an ancillary service and hence no TDS is deductible.
