Hi,

Earlier we used to deduct TDS on testing charges at 10% under professional services but now there r two rates under 94J so now its confusing whether we should deduct under professional services or technical services.
Please advise

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the confusion surrounding Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on testing charges. Previously, TDS was deducted at 10% under professional services. However, with the introduction of two rates under Section 94J, it's unclear whether testing charges fall under 'professional services' or 'fees for technical services'. The thread seeks clarification on the correct classification and applicable TDS rates.
