Most of the items an Even Manager handles are contracts (transportation, catering, hotels etc) and they will mostly be u/s 194C at rate given to you in the above reply. From the nature of service, it is mentioned Event Management. You will have check that they do not bill for a consultation fee or any charges as an Event Manager or to manage events. Then it would come under Section 194 J for Technical & Professional Fees. Fees for technical services shall have the same meaning as in Explanation 2 to clause (vii) of sub-section (1) of section 9. In Section 9 Technical Services includes Managerial and Secretarial Service. Then the rate of TDS on this service is 10% for above 20,000. Trade Fair stall rental is u/s 194I at rates for renting immovable property for above Rs.120,000. Therefore you better split the scope of work you are giving to the event manager so later you do not have problems with multiple rates as your participation in Trade Fare is requiring many services coordinated.
