We (a company) has raised an order to an individual(decorators) for preparation of temporary water proof shed for 5 months for storage of goods in our factory premises.
We will be paying the bill on the basis of per square feet rate as decided for 5 months. The bill amount will be Rs. 85000/-. But the total transaction from this vendor will be around 2,00,000/- ( two Lakhs) for the year.
The question is in which section shall I have to deduct the tax and at what percentage.
Secondly what if the total billing for the year is only Rs. 1,50,000/-
