Tds on rent

If the agreement says you are required to pay the 5% as rent, then TDS will be deducted u/s 194I.

This is fall under Section 194H of Income Tax Act as TDS on Comission, but please elaborate this point regarding rent for better understanding.........

There are two types of Rent which are come under the provision of TDS under Income Tax Act i.e.             1.)TDS on Rent on Land and Building

2.) TDS on Plant and Machinery/ Equipment

There is we can understand that tds on rent is applicable on tangible asset whether movable or immovable and hence mere agreement regarding payment of rent in any services or job which is intangible in nature is not fall under this catagory.

In the agreement it is written that if the sales of my firm crosses the level of Rs 25,00,000, i will pe paying 5% of the amount above 25,00,000 as rent. I am just confues whether it will be treated as commission or rent. 

For Vineet  :- In the agreement it is written "as rent"

Sandeep the rent is for the building.

Is the rent paid for use of any premises where sales is made.

If this is so then, TDS will be deducted as per sectio 194I.

As per the terms of the agreement descibed by you,

Total rent in case of sales exceeding 25 lacs, will be Rs. 100000+(5% of amount above 25 lacs.). 

Rates(with effect from 1st oct, 2009)

for the use of machinery, plant or equipment   2%

for the use of land, bldng., furniture or fittings   10% 

Thanks.

Exactly Prity , these are the terms of agreement. 

Thank you for your inputs.

I have extracted this portion from I.T. Act as under.........

Explanation.—For the purposes of this section,—
76[(i) “rent” means any payment, by whatever name called, under any lease,
sub-lease, tenancy or any other agreement or arrangement for the
use of (either separately or together) any,—
(a) land; or
(b) building (including factory building); or
(c) land appurtenant to a building (including factory building); or
(d) machinery; or
(e) plant; or
(f) equipment; or
(g) furniture; or
(h) fittings,
whether or not any or all of the above are owned by the payee;]

Sandeep the rent is paid for the use of the building . The quantum of the rent is decided on the basis of the sales.

IF ANNUAL FIXED RENT IS RS 100000

THEN TDS WILL BE DEDUCTED AFER 180000

UPTO RS 180000 OF RENT - TDS IS NOT DEDUCTED

U/S 194 I

My query is basically regarding the category of 5% paid above the limit. 

As the agreement clearly says, 5% will be rent. Therefore, deduct TDS u/s 194I.

If annual amount of fixed Rent is rs 100000

then upto amount of rent 180000  tds will not deducted

as per sec 194 I if u pay rent per mont more then 15000 or annual 180000 , tds will be deducted
