One partnership firm has got its motor car repaired at XYZ Motors P. Ltd. Bill amount is Rs. 39,000/- which includes Spares parts charges also. Should that firm deduct tax at source u/s. 194C ? Pls. give answer by considering the following supporting Circular of CBDT.
Maintenance contracts - Routine maintenance contracts including supply of spares would be covered under section 194C. However, where technical services are rendered, the provisions of section 194J will apply in regard to tax deduction at source—Circular : No., dated 8-8-1995.
