01 October 2007 1) An employer refuses to act according to the provisions of Income Tax Act in collecting tax from his employees, but repeatedly says that he should collect the respective TDS as per the circular instructions of his head querters and he is liable to obey only such intructions;
2) The said circulars are fully wrong in delivering the intructions regarding TDS without following strictly the provisions of the Act;
3) How can I advice him?

04 October 2007 Ignorance of Law is not an excuse. So, if the client does not comply with the TDS provisions quoting his Head Quarters, then he cannot escape from the violation of the TDS provisions.
