hiii...members and friends....

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM REGARDING DEDUCTION OF TDS ON TRANSPORT.

I AM HAVING A PRACTICAL CASE IN MY AUDIT:

I AM PURCHASING GOODS FROM A PARTY AND THAT PARTY IS CHARGING FREIGHT FOR THE GOODS SENDING TO ME IN EVERY BILL OF PURCHSE AND THE PER BILL FREIGHT AMOUNT IS APPROAX 6000/- AND DURING THE YEAR I AM PURCHASING SUPPOSE 20 TIMES i.e. TOTAL FREIGHT APPROX CHARGED IS 120000/- (6000 * 20) AND IN 15 CASES OUT OF 20 THE TRANSPORTER IS SAME. NOW I WANT TO KNOW THAT IF THE TRANSPORTER IS NOT HAVING PAN NO. THAN THE LIABILITY OF DEDUCTING TDS @ 20% IS OF THE CREDITOR (i.e. FROM WHOM I AM PURCHASING GOODS) OR OF MINE. I THINK IT IS LIABIITY OF CREDITOR BECAUSE THE CREDITOR IS LIABLE TO PAY THE FREIGHT AMOUNT TO TRANSPORTER. AND I HAVE TO PAY THE AMOUNT OF FREIGHT WITH PURCHSE GOODS AMOUNT TO THE CREDITOR...SO CORRECT ME WHETHER I AM WRONG...

COMMENTS ARE WELCOMED.....

THANKS IN ADVANCE.....
