WE HAVE OCCUIPED A OFFICE ON RENT WITH AGREEMENT FOR OFFICE AND FURNITURE WHICH WILL BE UTILSED BY US. FOR RENT ON PREMISES WE DEDUCT AT 10%. FOR FURNITURE OUR LANDLORD IS SAYING IT SHOULD 2% .. PLS ADVISE
17 November 2011
As per Section 194I of the Income Tax Act, 1961, TDS on Land, Building and Furniture is to be deducted at the rate of 10%. Hence TDS should be deducted at the rate of 10% on the entire amount of Rental figure.
2% TDS rate is applicable u/s 194I only for Rent of Plant, Machinery and Equipment.
Deducting TDS at lower rate would result in disallowance of the proportionate amount of expenditure to you.
