Telecom

Experts,

1. We are availing the Toll free number service for our business purposes from the telecom service provider.

2. Ther are charging the certain specified amount towards this service.

3. We are having the only one option to pay this amount on their website only.

4. There is no option to pay the lessor amount than what they have specified.

Query:

a. Whether this service attracts TDS under section 194J of Income Tax Act.

b. If yes, how we can make the payment through online after deducting TDS.

Pl clarify.

Quick Summary
This discussion seeks clarification on whether TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) applies to payments made for toll-free number services provided by a telecom company. The user is unsure if Section 194J (professional/technical services) or Section 194C (contracts) is relevant. Experts suggest that TDS under these sections may not apply as toll-free services aren't typically classified as professional, technical, or contract work, but the query remains on how to handle TDS if it is deemed applicable to such services.

TDS u/s 194J will not be applicable as it is not a fee for professional or technical services.
TDS u/s 194C will also not apply as it is not a contract.
Since it does come under service category, then how we can deduct the TDS......
