Cess and surcharges have been removed w.e.f 01.04.2009 except payment of Salary and payment to Non resident and/or Foreign Company.
New rate s are there for some sections of TDS w.e.f 01.10.2009.
Now your bills for Aug & Sept 09 to be accopunted for in books in the concerned month i.e. expenses to be debited before 01.10.2009 and TDS is payable on date of payment or credit whichever is earlier so rates before 01.10.2009 is pertinent unless you follow cash basis of accounting.
Foe Advt contract rate was only 1 % upto 30.09.2009 and w.e.f. 01.10.09 it becomes 1% if paid to Individual/HUF and 2 % for payment to others for all type of contracts.
