20 October 2007 As per the act if the total amount paid to the contractor exceeds Rs. 5 lakhs excluding taxes then TDS @ 2% to be deducted under MVAT for a registered dealer and 4% for a non registered dealer.

This TDS is over and above the TDS deducted under Income Tax Act.

I hope this clarifies your query
