We are making the payment by cheque amounting to Rs.50000/- & more in a year to vendor who is giving a service of making xerox copies & taking A3,A4 print out (not printing)in their stationery (from our data CD's). Is TDS applicable? if so, under which head / section we have to deduct TDS.
Your valuable suggestion needed.
Note: From data CD, the vendor taking print out. Here no printing work involves.

In my opinion, TDS is not applicable on payment towards xerox copies.
If the party charges seperately for paper cost by charging vat and printing charges seperately by charging service tax, then, tds should be deducted on the printing charges including service tax.
