tds query for 194 C

TDS 1402 views 4 replies

If a contractor gives a work on a sub contarct to a sub contractor, and a contractor hires a truck for carriage of goods / material to or from sub contractor. Will the activity of hiring trucks would cover as seperate contract or is covered as a sub-contarct?

HIring of vehicle will be seperate contract and will cover under sec 194c. 

the point is disputable one, hence for safer side to comply sec 40 b TDS to be made.

 

 

Yes i think it is treated as seperate contract. 

Dear Sir,

I am not sure whether I can clarify you but would like to put my views on the matter.  Hope the query is in connection with deduction of tax at source U/s.194C.   If hiring of vehicles is a primary contract which in turn is sub-contracted, it is a sub-contract. In present case hiring of vehicles is  ancilliary to the main object.  Hence, I think it will be a separate contract and not a sub-contract.

The Contractor has entered into a contract with other subcontractor for hiring of vehicles. It is a separate sub contract on the following grounds:

·          the main contractor has hired vehicles for carriage of goods to sub contractor
·          the transportation of goods  to and from sub contractor is wholly or partly in pursuance of main contract.
 
In such cases, no TDS u/s 194C has to be deducted if the sub contractor hiring the vehicles is Resident and do not own more than 2 goods carriages at any time during the PY and he submits a declaration in Form 15I. In any other case, TDS has to be made.
This reply is in accordance with my understanding of the query
