Tds on sponsorship fee

In my opinion it would be covered u/s. 194C and the rate of TDS should be @ 2% if the payee is not an individual / HUF otherwise @ 1%.

Shraddha

agreee with above it come under sec 194c

Sanjay ji,

Sponsership fees is subject to deduct (If not for charitable purpose) TDS u/s 194 J @ 10% (20% if the party doesnt have PAN).

TDS can be deducted u/s 194 C @ 2% or 1% (as Sharaddha ji said above) if  there is a contract between the parties.

but it is advisable to deduct TDS at higher rate to avoid any issues ahead.

Circular Number 715 dated 8-8-1995 made it clear that the agreement of sponsorship of debates, seminars and other functions in school/college/associations is in essence an agreement for carrying out a work of advertisement and provisions of section 194C applies.

So based on the above circular if your sponsor ship is two bill which were below 30000/- TDS provisions will not apply as it did not crossed the limited of Rs. 75000/-

But if it is a single bill it will attract TDS liablity at the rate prescribed as it corssed the limit of Rs.30000/- p.a

AGREED....

Sirs... if it is other than place school/college/associations  what will be the provision ?

Sponsorship payment is covered under Section 194C. This clause is applicable only if a single payment exceeds30,000/- or payment during the year is more than75,000/- whichever is earlier.

TDS is deductible under Section 194C @ 1% if the payment is made to an individual / HUF or @ 2% if payment is made to other persons.

It is necessary to note here that in case of Sponsorship (after excluding certain services), the person receiving the sponsorship would be liable for Service tax payment under "Sponsorship Service" - Section 65(105)(zzzn) - which means that as a Service receiver you are liable to pay Service Tax

Dear Sir,

1. As per circular no. 715 dated 08.08.1995, service of sponsorship is in the nature of the contract for carrying the work undertaken to execute an event, hence TDS u/s 194C will be applicable in the given case. 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view. 

Sponsorship means a party providing financial or other support to an event, organization, or activity in exchange for promotional benefits. Sponsors typically gain visibility through branding, logo placement etc during the sponsored event. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement where the sponsor gets exposure, and the sponsored entity receives financial or in-kind support.

Applicability of TDS Section: Section 194C of the Income Tax Act apply to such sponsorship agreements.
