What taxes will apply?

Hi! I have a query. If an individual who is not on the payroll of a company ( not a salaried employee) offers professional services to the company for which he receives a monthly remuneration, which doesn't exceed INR 4,00,000/- annually. My question is:

1) Will TDS be deductible under Section 194J at 7.5%?

2) Can the individual claim a refund at the end of the year along with Marginal Relief on his Return of Income? What will be the process for the same?

3) Also will there be any GST that will be charged?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies tax implications for individuals providing professional services without being on a company's payroll. It covers Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) rates, which have varied but are currently at 10%, and the process for claiming refunds via Income Tax Returns (ITR), especially if total income is below certain thresholds. The applicability of GST is also addressed, noting it's only charged if the service provider is registered for GST and meets specific gross receipt criteria.

1) Yes TDS is deductible at 7.5%
2) Yes, refund can be claimed at the time of filing ITR by applying rebate of 12500 if total taxable income is within prescribed limit
3) No GST will be charged by individual if he/she is not registered under GST...
1) TDS will be applicable @ 10% from 01.04.2021.
it was 7.5% till 31.3.21
2) Yes, he is eligible for refund if his net total income below 5,00,000.
3) if he is a GST registered assessee and his total gross receipts exceeds 20Lakhs then he will charge GST. Because he is the service provider to company.
1) TDS will be deducted @ 10%

2) Yes refund can be claimed upto 12500 rupees

3) GST will not be imposed

Thank you so much! You all have helped me immensely. Thank you once again.

Forget about the gst.
the company will deduct tds at 10% every month.
if the person is not earning any other income then the the entire amount of tds can be claimed as refund while filing itr.
Your welcome
