TDS on Purchase Query

One of our client has turnover over 10 Crs in FY 2020-21. and He made purchase from one party in june 2021 which is around 60 lakhs and they charged TCS for Rs 10,00,000. But he made payment of around 55,00,000 in july only when there was tds on purchase provision. Now is he required to pay tds under section 194Q for such payment made in July ? Invoice is of june Month where the vendor has charged TCS on sales.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of TDS under Section 194Q on purchases. It explains that if an invoice was raised before July 1st, 2021, or if TCS was already charged by the vendor, Section 194Q typically does not apply to payments made subsequently. The CBDT circular 13 of 2021 provides further guidance on these scenarios.

As the TCS was already applied over the transaction; sec, 194Q is not applicable. TDS need not be deducted.

Even if TCS would not have been collected by the seller, 194Q would not apply if invoice is pertaining to a period prior to 1st July 2021.

That is if either invoice or payment is accounted/made prior to 1st July 2021, 194Q would not apply when such invoice is subsequently paid or when such invoice is subsequently accounted, as applicable.

TCS so Charged in the invoice is reversed through a credit note by the vendor. He is following receipt basis for depositing TCS to the government. since our client paid amount in july month and our turnover is more than 10 crores in the previous year the vendor opines that our client have to deduct tds u/s 194Q while paying amount to them. 

This point has clearly been clarified by CBDT vide their circular no.13 of 2021 dated 30th June, 2021.

Refer clause 4.2 of the circular for more:
