TDS on transport

Dear Shailendra.

It is better to get TDS deducted as the date of Invoice as well as Services rendered both of earlier period i.e. before 1/10/2009

TDS to be deducted................

Frankly i havnt read all the replies that u have received but let me tell u my understanding and this is something that we follow in my organisation.

1. TDS is deductable on date of payment or credit whichever is earlier. Let me elaborate.. This means that the date on which the transaction enter the books is the most important date for determining the rate of TDS.. this can be either date of payment or date of booking of invoice or the date of creating a provision in books.. it doesn't matter.

2. The in instant case if the conditions prescribed in section 194c have been fulfiled then there is no liability to deduct TDS.

Hope this helps!

No tds would be deducted for transporter services

But the company has booked its invoice on 2.10.2009. Will the booking on 02.10.2009 is liable to TDS.   According to me company is liable to deduct TDS since service has been rendered before 01.10.2009.   What are your comments?

Hi shailendra!

The rendering of service do not matter but what matters is the date of provision of credit in the books of the debtor. In your case the date of payment / credit (whichever is earlier) comes after 01/10/2009. Thus TDS need not be deducted.

Dear Shailendra

Provision of non deduction of TDS applicable in case of only if Valid PAN is available. Otherwise,you need to deduct TDS @ 20 % + +.

There is nothing to report to Income Tax Authority except to proov it as and where required.

TDS does not deduct to transport service parties when they submit their PAN Number.

it is w.e.f.01-10-2009

I think we should conclude that TDS should not be deducted(according to original query). As the date of booking the entry was 2/10/2009
