We are a public limited company belonging to food processing unit and our nature of business is sale of milk and ice-cream. In an institutional sale scheme, we have an agreement with the authorised railway catering service provider who will allow us their space for a support sale of milk and ice-cream from their stall for which we have to pay them a license fee for support of catering? Now, whether, this can be brought a contract of sale of space or otherwise? Whether any tds on our part is applicable? please help?

I am sorry it's not sale of spece but renting of space. Though we are making the payment as license fee there is a cluse in the agreement against which we have pay the municipal tax also.
