TDS on Transportation

Who is liable to deduct tax?

Any person, other than an Individual or HUF, responsible for making payment to a resident contractor or sub-contractor for carrying out any work (including supply of labour) is liable to deduct tax at source under Section 194C.

However, an Individual or HUF who is liable to tax audit during the financial year immediately preceding the financial year in which such sum is credited or paid, shall deduct tax under section 194C.
