TDS ON TELEPHONE BILLS

no need of deduction of tds out of telephone bills

TDS not applicable on telephone bills

Can I have any specific refrence from the Act?

Regards / Mohit

no 

Any refrence to Book (other than Act), case law, logic or agrgument for not deducting TDS on Telephone Bills?

You can refer views of Madras High Court in case of Skycell Communications Ltd. & anr. Vs. Dy CIT & Ors. (251 ITR 53). It is held that mere collection of ‘fee’ for use of a standard facility provided to all those willing to pay for it does not amount to a fee for technical services. It is not a fee merely because hi-tech communication technology is used for providing these services. In fact, it is a charge for use of a facility. Hence, TDS is neither deductible u/s.194C nor u/s. 194J.

yes no tds on telphone charges

No! I don't think TDS is applicable on Telephone bills or electricity bills! I have not seen my firm's clients deduct it! as it is not a contratual obligation and the bill amount basically comprises of charges of the calls being made which is not covered by the TDS regulations! But i'll get back to you with the proper details!
