acc to me , i understand that there is some kind arrangement or agreement of contract . i see both of such transactions in the nature of contract.definitely in the second one the person is not delivering prof services.........
Circular Number 715 dated 8-8-1995 made it clear that the agreement of sponsorship of debates, seminars and other functions in school/college/associations is in essence an agreement for carrying out a work of advertisement and provisions of section 194C applies. hence TDS @ 1% is requried to be made if pymt exceeds Rs. 30K & in aggregarate exceeds Rs. 75K
TDS u/s 194J shall be requried to be made as teh Master Chef is providing professionla service by applying his own skill. Hence TDS @ 10% shall be requreid to be made.
