Provisions of TDS will not apply in case of payments made for usage of telephone and internet connection. U may also refer Madras High Court Judgement in case of Skycell Communications Ltd. [251 ITR 53]

TDS is not applicable in above case.

TDS is not applicable for use of mobile, internet or telephone services

TDS is not applicable for the use of Telephone,mobile and /or internet Services.

do we need to deduct tds if we have made a contract of internet usage with a company and the bill amount is the same every month??? what is needed to be done if it is call centre???

Anil a very good question indeed. There is strong logic behind deduction of TDS. We need to understand the difference between allowance and re-imbursement. If it is an allowance ie to say that the contractor/vendor's margin is included it shall be subject to TDS u/s 194C. If it is in the nature of pure re-imbursement ie. payment on the basis of actuals then no TDS shall be deducted.

thanks for advise

No

do we need to deduct tds if we have made a contract of internet usage with a company and the bill amount is the same every month???

Dear Officer

We are a public limited company and kindly let us know if there is any liability for TDS on usage of internet or on any rental charges  charged by telephone / communication provider.
