tds on software sale

I hope no TDS should be deducted on sale of software. it can never be treated as services.

Software designed based on customer specification would attract TDS under 194J, if it is a readymade software it will not attract TDS.

but in case of sale of readymade software u have to charge sales tax. coz it will be treated as goods.

it depends on the nature of transaction between you and your vendor. if you have asked him to develop a software specially for you as per your guidelines and specfications then you will pay him the cost of software and cost of services. TDS will be deducted on the services component. However if you have purchased the software as it is, i.e. the one which is offered for retail sale, then you are not required to deduct any TDS.

Purchases are excluded from TDS deductions.

Software designed based on customer specification would attract TDS under 194J, if it is a readymade software it will not attract TDS.

What is the TDS procedure for Software Company

softwares which are being used by every one in general and not per specifications between the parties will not attract tds.Howevev use of licenced software will attract tds as it is amended in sec 194J under royalties

As per new service tax circular on sale of software we have to collect vat + service tax, Is TDS applicalbe on the bill amount ?
