No the REnt reciver will get refund on such income .so there is no double taxation. also ur Question is not clear,in this case the company will take cash/cheque from the rent reciver and that will be deposited as TDS which was not deposited earlier

hi dear as per yours querry company didnt cut the TDS ON THE RENT PAID. suppose if Co cut/deposit the tax after prescribed period of the filing of ITR of individual then issue the TDS certificate to individual and individual file the Revised Return and CAN claim TDS and Co. can allowed its expenditure. if u not followed the provision then kindly read section 271C OF TE INCOME TAX ACT and judgement 253 ITR 745 197 ITR 338, 256 ITR 679

In case TDS was not deducted at all, Co. can not claim allowance of rent on subsequent deduction of TDS. Even if the Co. will pay TDS from their own pocket, even then payment of rent will be disallowed u/s 40a(ia). And further when the reciepient of rent pay taxon the same. there will not be double taxation of the same.

Dear peer, Acc. to sec. 40 a (ia), payment of rent is disallowable if tax has not been deducted or deducted but not remitted in th previous yr. But an exception is, if the assessee deducts or remits which was earlier deducted, in the subsequent yr., then the rent expenditure is allowable in the subsequent yr's. P&L A/c. However, before any deduction by assessee in subsequent yr., if the rent recipient pays his tax liability & files ITR, then assessee has no option to claim the expenditure in its P&L a/c. but at the same time no need for remittance of TDS on such rent from its pocket, which the assessee has failed to deduct, as per aforesaid judgement of hindustan coca cola.

Please provide clarification on deduction of tax at source on service tax amount included in the bill

The receiver of the rent has to pay tax on that income, however he does not get credit for and TDS, since it has not been paid by the payer. Due to this non payment of TDS on the rent, the payer looses the claim on the expense and has to pay the tax. Obviously the same item is being taxed twice in the same year. However, in the next year when such TDS is deposited, the payer gets the deduction of the rent expenditure (expense not incurred during the year) and the receiver gets credit of the TDS (income not taxable in that year). So it evens out and nobody looses anything.
