If the transporter is not owning more than 10 goods carriage at any time during the previous year, then deductor has to obtain a declaration from transporter along with the copy of a PAN before credit or payment to the transporter, whichever is earlier.
The transporter is liable for TDS if more than 10 goods carriage is owned at any time during the year. This deduction is done at the time of paying charges to goods transporter. TDS will be deducted at the rate of 1% or 2% as the case may be; based on the transport contractor’s status which can be identified by the 4th alphabet of the PAN.
Conclusion
With this addition to the Act, reporting all deductions w.r.t Nil TDS on transporter payment in quarterly return (26Q) is made compulsory.
The person responsible for making the payment to the transporters, which is subject to tax, is advised to collect the below documents for such transactions:
- Self-attested copy of PAN Card
- Declaration of the fact that such contractor is neither registered nor the owner of more than 10 goods carriages.
Attached herewith the Specimen of Declaration that should be given on the letterhead of the Transporter.
