TDS section

368 views 6 replies
Hi,
We are Digital marketing company in which we provide online advertising services to the clients and charge them for Media Spends plus Agency fees.
For Media Spends i am clear that TDS will get deducted @ 2% as per section 194c (7) (iv)(a). However, i am confused about Agency fees whether it will be 194c, 194j or any other section.
Please note we provide recurring services to clients.
Thanks in advance.

Yes....You are exactly correct for media spends...

On Agency fees
if it's commission based then TDS u/s 194H...
If it's professional fee then TDS u/s 194J...
Thank you for your revert! It is not commission/brokerage. It can be termed as professional fees but actually it is recurring services which we provide to them. Will it go under 194c services?
Mayank , it will be a part of advertising services contract and hence apply 194C

What you are charging is not at all Commission/brokerage as you are not acting on behalf of anybody.

It is your service charges may be on %age of bill amount or based any other mode. That's part of your contract terms with the advertiser.

So apply 194C and not 194J .
Great... Thank you Pravin. I am also of the same opinion.
Yes... I agreed also if it's not professional services or Commission/Brokerage.
Yup, Thank you so much Raja for the help
