Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether TDS needs to be deducted on freight charges for non-audit firms when annual payments exceed £100,000. It confirms that TDS under Section 194C is applicable in such cases, with rates of 1% or 2% depending on the contractor's entity type. The advice is relevant even if the firm is a partnership and its turnover is £60 lakh.
TDS U/s 194C ( Payment to Contractor and Sub Contractor ) @ 1% in case of Individual / HUF Contractor or 2% incase of any other entity, will be applicable when payment made to contractor is Rs. 30,000 or more in a single contract or Rs. 1,00,000 p.a.
Hence you are required to deduct TDS U/s 194C @ 1% or 2%, as the case may be, since your payment exceeds Rs. 1,00,000.
