Dear Sir,

We are having a Security Service Provider Company & supply Security manpowers to the various clients.

One of our XYZ client deduct TDS from Total Manpower + S Tax Billing. i.e. if, suppose contract Amount is Rs.5000/- and Service Tax is 15%. The Total Bill amount is Rs.5750.00/-.

Client deduct upon TDS @ 2% on total BIll (Rs.5750.00/- X 2%) =Rs.115/-.

But, our local CA said that. the TDS deduction rule is to Rs.5000/- x @ 2% = 100/- is TDS Amount

Please help me out to short out the problems.

Warm Regards

Provisions of section 194C apply to a contract for carrying out any work including supply of labour for carrying out any work. Payments to recruitment agencies are in the nature of payments for services rendered. Accordingly, provisions of section 194C shall not apply. The payment will, however, be subject to TDS under section 194J of the Act.

Hence its 194J

Hi, TDS will be deducted on the base value not the invoice value, when the service provider given an invoice with the break-up, accordingly you have to deduct for Rs.5000.00 only not the invoice value.
