A has taken premises on Rent from B and paying monthly Rent. While paying Rent A is deducting TDS on Rent at the rates prescribed u/s 194-I (IT Act).
As the premises being used by A and its subsidiray company C, A is allocating some portion of Rent to C.
Query:-
* Whether C is liable to deduct TDS on Rent paid to A? * If A is allocating some other office expenses also to C on the basis of certain fixed percentage then whether C is liable to deduct TDS on the payment made to A?
Can the assessing officer may object that C is showing expenses but there is no TDS has been shown/ deposited by the company in its TDS return ?
Your early reply is highly appreciated. Best regards
