09 November 2009 In case a printing company is placed an order for say 45000/- viz. printing of leaflets, broachres, visiting cards for 35000/- and 10000 for stationery items, on credit basis, while making payment should we deduct TDS on 45000/- and at what percentage and for what items. For general offic purchases worth about less than 2500/- are we to deduct TDS, if so, at what rates
