I'm running a partnership firm which is not liable to tax audit but our firm is paying rent of Rs 250,000/- p.a to landlord. Should i deduct the TDS u/s 194I ? I read the section but I'm little confused. please clarify
You are required to deduct TDS . aggregate Turnover 1 crore ( 2nd proviso in section 194I ) is applicable only in case of Individual and HUF not in case of partnership Firm .
Dear Ruchika and Prasad, I had the same doubt. Since mine is a Partnership Firm (profession) tax audit limit is 50 lakh, but my TO is less than 50 lakh. Now the land lord telling that 194I is not applicable and he is not allowing to deduct TDS. Telling that your firm's TO is less tha Tax Audit Threshold.
