I have to pay arrangement fee for securitisation to 'DSP Merril Lynch' and 'Deutsche Bank'. Whether there is any TDS liability on this payment.

A pvt co. needs finance. Pvt. co. entered into a agreement with another company .

The financer will give finance to the company and he will subscribe company share capital up to amount which he has given finance.

Further, Promoter agrees to buy the shares for a specified period at a specified rate

The agreement provides that Financer will vote in AGM in favour of Promoter.

Whether this agreement is valid or not ?

Whether a pvt co. can allot his share as a security

A Pvt. Ltd. Company take a loan from a company. As a financial security Financer subscribe the equity share capital from the finance.
Promoter agree to buy shares at face value of share+ 18% per annum as interest.

After a year promoter buy shares from Financer at the rate of Rs. 118 ( Rs. 100 face value+18 interest).

Now please advice me whether TDS is applicable in this transaction ? . If yes how much extent and who will deduct the T.D.S.
Secondly wht is the tax treatment of above transactions

Inadvertently, excess TDS is affected from a Contractor and also remitted to the Department in a particular quarter.

This mistake is detected in the next quarter (in the same financial year). How to go about adjusting the excess payment.

Is it not possible to deduct the excess amount while remitting TDS due for next quarter (in the same financial year).

Kindly advise

Whether a company has to pay FBT if it does not have any employee on its roll but engages contract workers on hire ?

Suppose the statutory Auditor resigns during the year ie before the close of the financial year and a new Statutory Auditor is appointed immediately in the special meeting then the new auditor will have to do the audit and give his report -- Right isnt it?

But suppose the original Auditor resigns after the financial year then what is the implication or duty of the new Auditor. Who should complete the audit and sign the Audit report.

Kindly advice

Dear friends,

For the calculating TDS on the services,
Whether TDS should be calculated on the invoice amount i.e. (fees + service tax) or only fees amount i.e. not on service tax amount?
IF we are calculating on the invoice then there is tax on service tax it is correct ?

Thanking you
