Hi,

my name is chetan. i am working in a C.A Firms.Currently i am on audit of a garment export house.There is bill found submitted by a registered firm on reply of service rendered by company.The service was consultancy on refund of duty drawback. on bill they charged 0.75% amount of drawback refund+service tax(12.36).Nothing else charged on bill.Accounts department of company deduct TDS Under Sec194C by 2.266%.But i have confussion on same.In my opinion TDS Should be deduted under sec 194H(Commision & Other) by 11.33%(Including surcharge and cess).Because the said firm are not professional.

Pls suggest me. pls give the difference between Contractor,Professional and commission services also section applicable there on.

As per details submitted by you TDS would be deductible @ 11.33% u/s 194H(Commission) and not u/s 194C(contractors) @ 2.266% which has been applied.What category of consultants are they has not been mentioned therefore TDs u/s 194J is not applicable. TDS rates for services are as follows: Professional services - 10%(+surcharge and cess as per assessee status)-11.33% max. Commission-same as above Contractor- 2% (+surcharge and cess as per assessee status)-2.266% max

Dear

TDS can be deducted under Section 194C i.e. Contract if they are having any contract.........i think u are assuming it as commission coz he has charged percentage on drawback.......but it is not necessary that we will take it as commission.....in a contract also u can charge amount on total amount of duty drawback........but onething which is still unclear abt the firm.......if possible take details of firm and give to us as well

By the way its a nice query but pls do check the firm whether its a consultancy firm what kind of it is.......

Section 194C is for contract

Section 194J for professional and technical services

Section 194H is for commission

Chetan,

First you see that what is the business of the service provider.Normally,the duty drawback has been released by the C&F agent only.

So,if the service provier is a C&F agent then TDS willl be as per section 194C only.

If the service provider is consultant then TDS will be as per 194J.

You mean to say that the service provider is not professional consultant.

Then you can deduct TDS u/s 194C.

Because section 194J will be applicable if "Any person,who is resposible for paying to a resident any sum by way of fees for professional services,or fees for technical services or royalty shall deduct tax at sourse."
