Tds on fuel charge by courier company

No TDS applicable on fuel charges.

Thank you sir .

Dear Sir,

I have a query on this regard, We are not liable to deduct TDS on Fuel Charges if the same is in the Nature of Reimbursement.

Certain Courier Agencies charge a fixed rate of fuel Charge and also add the same to their service value for their Service tax or GST Valuation. I this case, in my opinion we need to deduct TDS Inclusive of Fuel Charge (NO TDS on ST as already clarified by Tax Dept.)

Could you share your views on the same?

Thanks in Advance.

About fixed rate of fuel charges, it's their method of charging for service. This doesn't change the nature of payment, which is payment for work (include courier).

If i clearly understand you statement,then as they charge fixed fuel charges the same is also a part of their service irrespective of the nomenclature and hence we would end up deducting TDS on the same as well, Correct?

Yes.

Dear All,

Thanks for valuable input in this regard :)

I want to know that if Fuel surcharge on courier charge is not fixed then should we deduct TDS on additional fuel surcharge?

please reply as early as possible.
