Dear Sir/Madam,
I want to know whether the TDS provisions on hiring of vehicle, for transportation of staff from one place to another and hiring of const. equipments like cranes, D.G.sets is 2.06% section 194C (tds on contractor )and 10.30% section 194I( tds on plant & machinery) respectively ?
Further I want to add to my prior question that if the person providing vehicles on hire for transportation of office staff from one place to another also provides driver then whether TDS provision is to be made @ 1.03% (sub -contractor) or it must still be 2.06%(assumption surcharge not applicable due to gross billing less than Rs. 10 Lakhs)
and in case of hiring of construction equipments like cranes, hydra motars,tractors and D.G.sets whether the service providers if provide his driver for providing the said service, then TDS provision should be made @ 1.03% or still must be 10.30% ?
and further whether the hiring of cranes, hrydra machines ,tractors and heavy equipments (movable and non movable )for construction do come under plant & machinery category(sec. 194I) or contractor category (sec.194C ) ?
