23 January 2008 If B recovers exact amount of transport cost from A, enclosing the copy of the bill raised by the transporter, and if B has paid the same amount to the transporter deducting tax at source, no liability to A to deduct tax on the transport charges.

If the freight amount is inclusive of Bill, then the goods are sold by B at C & F basis to A and the question of TDS does not arise.

This query has already been answered.

27 February 2008 Since B is not the transporter but only claims reimbursement, of the exact amount which would suffer/would have already suffered tax deduction by B, No TDS will become applicable again.
