As per I-T Act, "professional services" means services rendered by a person in the course of carrying on legal, medical, engineering or architectural profession or the profession of accountancy or technical consultancy or interior decoration or advertising or such other profession as is notified by the Board for the purposes of section 44AA or of this section;
As per s194J, individual & HUF are not liable to deduct tax unless they had tax audit in preceding AY.
In the above case, TDS needs to be deducted as its anyways income in the hand of carpenter.
Better if he can specify services and material seperately. TDS only on services portion.
