Tds on rent for chemical storage


14 November 2013 Dear Sir/Mam,

Request you to please answer this query..

- There is a company in trading business of a chemical, which takes tanks for storage of its chemical on rent.

Now the question is whether TDS at the time of payment is to be deducted u/s 194I or 194C as there is a contract between the two parties.


14 November 2013 Business requires good contacts.
.
A Contact when converts into a contract, it
results into a business relationship.
.
So you can say that a business runs on the basis of contacts and contracts.
.
All the contracts have got different names.
.
When a specific name is given to a contract it becomes a specific contract. It may be covered by a specific provision of the law, which supersedes the general provision.
.
So in my view 194I is applicable.
.

14 November 2013 Sir but when we take a space on rent, the utilisation of the space is in our control, but here we are just utilising a part of the total arena available and there is a lessor and lessee relationship. so in that situation also it will be 194I ??


14 November 2013 The payments to the lessor, if otherwise are not named in the agreement differently, are generally known as lease rentals.
.
The company exercises effective control over the space.
.
Further, using of a part or whole, does not make in the nature of the payment.
.
So, I would still advise to treat the said transaction U/s 194I. This safer position costs nothing extra to the company.

18 November 2013 agree with Paras Sir

18 November 2013 Thanks a lot sir

20 December 2013 one more thing whether the storage tanks fall under the definition of Plant & Machinery ????
and in that case what will be effective rate of TDS 2% or 10%????
