One of my client is an 100% EOU and hence his income from export turnover is totally exempt. However, he has not deducted TDS on Freight charges paid.
Is the expenditure is subject to tax if disallowed. In such a case is he liable to tax/interest/penalty.

agreed that there would be no impact of disallowance but as per tds provisions you will be treated as assessee in default and deptt can recover the tds amount, interest, and penalty which may be up, to the amount of tds involved

i agree with the view of Sri S.K.Jain. assessee has to pay the tds amount+ intt.+ penalty , as the assessee is liable to be treated as assessee in default.

I agree that the assessee is liable to interest and penalty. Under which provision the assessee is liable to the TDS amount. Since the deductee would have paid the taxes on his income and recovery of TDS amounts to double taxation.
