Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) applies to legal fees paid for property acquisition, especially when these costs are capitalised. Experts confirm TDS is applicable under Section 194J on legal services exceeding Rs. 30,000, even if the expense is capitalised. The thread also touches upon the debate regarding the capitalisation of lawyer fees for ownership changes and the implications of not deducting TDS.

Yes

TDS is applicable u/s 194J on Rs. 50000
Even if we capitalise whole exp.?
Yes, Anmol Ji
Yes TDS U/s 194J of the Income Tax Act 1961 @ 10% will be applicable on Legal Services since the amount exceeds Rs. 30,000.

If TDS is not deducted on Rs 50,000 of Legal fees what will be the consequenses ? Whether Depreciation on Capitalised Legal fees will be allowed?

Sir, I am in favour of point that we can capitalise even lawyer fees also as it is incurred for ownership change. but some experts are saying that you cannot capitalise lawyer fees. It leads to contradictory treatment. what can I do?
