TDS on Software is not applicable as per NOTIFICATION NO. 21/2012 [F.No.142/10/2012-SO(TPL)] S.O. 1323(E),

DATED 13-6-2012 subject to certain conditions.
But if a software is purchased from Developer of Software, then TDS is applicable or not and under section 194C or 194J?

TDS on customised software would fall under the purview of sec. 194J.

TDS on software maintainance ,,,..194J will be applicable

no tds on purchase of software

If the Software is purchased without any customization, then there is no liability to deduct TDS. Such transaction shall be treated as pure purchase by the buyer.

 

Whereas, if the Software is supplied as per the specifications of the customer, then TDS shall be applicable. As per my knowledgeTDS shall be deductible u/s 194C.

 

 

Regards,

yes , tds shall be deductible under sec 194j

note: if the non resident transferor claims the benefit of tax treaty or favourable judicial pronouncement and consequently tax is not deducted under sec 195 then dealer or customer has to deduct tds under section 194j while making payment to distributor or dealer as the case may be

The Software developer made a software for a company as per the specification of the company but the company did not supply any materials for it. While making payment, the company deducted TDS @ 2 % u/s 194C. Is it correct?

no.

TDS U/S 194 J WILL APPLY 

TDS TO BE DEDUCTED AS PER 10%

To understand this notification some points must be understand first:-

1) Software acquired in subsquent transfer (means notification is not applicable if software is purchased form original developer)

2) The transferor is a resident person

3) The transferor has transferred the software without any modification (If transferor is customizing the software as per customers' requirement, then the benefit of such notification would not be available)

4) Tax has been deducted by transferor from payment of such software during any previous transfer under section 194J

5) The transferee obtains a declaration from the transferor that it has deducted tax from payment made to original developer or previous dealer

 

Hence, indirectly TDS is already deducted on such transfer.

suppose i purchased tally ERP  amt 45000/- add customisation charges 35000 then TDS applicable??

Recently, we got customised software to our company.  we have another company which is located in  another state. first software is cost is more than Rs. 30000(as per 194J, tds limit ) ex. Rs. 50,000. we had  deducted the tds(10%) of the cost. again we got another copy to our another state company.  cost of the software is less than Rs. 30, 000. my question is, whether  tds(10%) will attract on this cost or not... . pl. help me.

"B" is a Pvt Ltd Company in India which is 100% Subsidiary of German Company "A". A supplies standardised software (i.e. licence key and there is no customisation involved) to B. B in turn sells the licence key to its customer in India C without any modification.

B has deducted TDS u/s 195 @ 10% since 2011.

B is collecting VAT on the software sold to Indian customer C. No TDS deducted by C on payments to B.

Query:

1. Whether TDS is deductable on the standarised software (can be regarded as goods) being purchased from German Company ?

2. Whether VAT has to be collected on the sale to Indian Customer ? In that case we cannot take the benefit of the NOTIFICATION NO. 21/2012 [F.No.142/10/2012-SO(TPL)] S.O. 1323(E), 
DATED 13-6-2012.

Please advise.
